  • Question
    Can I cut the yucca flower for display, and if I do how long will it last?
    Community Answer
    You could. However, the scent can be quite overwhelming indoors.
  • Question
    What about the roots of the yucca plant?
    Community Answer
    Yucca root can actually be toxic if consumed in large quantities, so it's best to use caution when ingesting it. Some people do use a teaspoon of finely chopped yucca root to make a medicinal tea that is supposed to help with arthritis and other joint pain, though. However, there is little scientific evidence to support the claim that yucca root helps with those aliments.
