Yucca elephantipes

Yuccas are pretty well known easy house plants, tolerating full sun and thriving on a minimal amount of care. Large and or branched specimens are hard to get hold of but make a fantastic specimen plant for a well lit room or conservatory.

Site: A bright position it will take direct sun. Or a bit of shade but spin it around fron time to time or the branches will lean towards the light.

Temp: Pretty hardy it will stand being in all but the coldest conservatories.

Water: Keep well watered in summer and infrequently in winter. The more you water it over the summer the faster it will grow. Its always best (and important over winter) to let the plant dry out before watering again.

Feeding: A liquid feed every 3 weeks or so over summer (Less if you want to restrict growth)

Tip: Use a free draining compost. It can be put outside over the summer months.
