Description
Yucca whipplei var erenica (Agavaceae) This non-trunk-forming plant forms rosettes, either solitary or with age in small groups, with very stiff blue leaves noticeably striated with a sharp tip and leaf margins that are rough to finely toothed and the underside of the leaf rough on the surface. Sowing: Use a gritty mix of peat, cocofiber, vermiculite and perlite, sand or similar media. Fill shallowly in trays or pots and sow the seeds on the surface. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, about as thick as the seeds are. Label with species name and date. Do not cover with plastic or glass. Place trays or pots at temperatures between 25 and 30°C (75 to 90°F) in a brightly lit spot but out of full sun and keep slightly damp but never wet. Seeds will sprout reliably after a few days or weeks. Locality: Ex Hort. Harvest: December 2022
