Too many yuccas

Some years ago a friend gave me two plants which she said were yuccas. On researching yuccas I can’t find a picture that looks quite like mine so now I’m not sure about the name. They have survived very well so they must be hardy as I’ve been able to kill most plants in my garden.
They are a succulent although the very point of each leaf is very sharp. They have thrived where they are but now they’ve both had babies and quite a few of them. One day soon I’ll remove these youngsters and offer them for free on our local buy and sell Facebook page. Do you have succulents in your garden?

No. I have lots of aloe vera and mother-in-law's tongue.

I have heard about this plant for the first time. I love their clean green color.

The only thing that might be considered a succulent in my garden would be "hen and chicks". I'm not fond of the plant....it seems to grow without my attention. At least the spot where it's growing is out of my regular line of vision.
Your plant looks quite healthy.

Succulents are common here in Southern California because they are hardy for a desert climate.

They are so expensive for me to buy, but I love them. How nice they multiplied, and now you can share.

I have this 'problem' with the ficus palms here. They just multiply although they are pretty plants. And then there are those sansevieria - they multiply too.Then there is aloe vera and several other creepers that just proliferate(lol)

I don't but I have considered putting them in at the Florida house since they are more suitable to the climate there.

They do best in a hot or at least a warm climate.

My Mum had one of those. Succulents are usually easy to grow.

@peachpurple We have to grow things that kangaroos don't eat. And we have rabbits around the house too.

@JudyEv i used to love gardening until the pesky stray cats keep pooping and peeing onto my veggies, I had to transfer them to flower pots . Now my garden kept growing weeds.

I had a yucca years ago, but it spread so I started to give them away.
But I replaced them with a succulent that my neighbour gave to me, and it spread even more. I kept a few when we moved, but I haven't planted them in the ground as of yet, they remain in pots, we'll see if I plant them, they are so much work thinning them out every year.

No I have no succulents in the garden but have a couple of house plants. I think it would not suit them here as it is too cold and too wet!
