How long does a yucca flower last?
By Katya

My yucca has flowered but all too soon the pretty waxen bells have started falling, soon to leave only a naked spike. Is there any way I can prolong the life of the flower, eg. by intensive watering?

when people say remove the flowering stem how far does it need to be cut down. I have cut down my dead stem but l have left about a meter as i was unsure as to cut it right to the bottom.

Shimmiey: Cut it right at the base, where the tiny leaves are, just above the normal sized leaves - but without damaging the leaves.

No, fraid not. Once its done, it's done. Remove the flowering stem when its completely finished.
