Yucca

Yucca (Yucca spp.) is a hardy, drought-tolerant plant known for its sword-like leaves and architectural form. It's a great choice for adding a bold, modern look to indoor spaces or as a striking feature in outdoor gardens.

Light

  • Thrives in bright, indirect light.

  • Can tolerate direct sunlight, which encourages healthy growth.

  • Low light can slow growth and cause weak, spindly leaves.

Watering

  • Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

  • Water thoroughly, letting excess water drain—overwatering can lead to root rot.

  • Requires less frequent watering in the winter months.

Temperature

  • Ideal temperature: 60–85°F.

  • Can tolerate temperatures as low as 50°F but avoid frost.

  • Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and air conditioners.

Fertilizing

  • Feed during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks.

  • Do not fertilize in fall and winter when growth slows.
