About Yucca

History

It's common to buy a Yucca which has been grown from a special "log" or stem, after potting it up, the new green growth emerges out of the top of this stem and the roots grow out of the bottom and into the soil.

Cultivation

Native to the sandy deserts of Central America and Mexico the Yucca plant is widely cultivated for ornamental use in both gardens and homes. In hot semi-arid climates, Yucca's make popular outdoor plants and can grow up to nine metres high and eight metres wide. Because of their ability to adapt to a range of climatic conditions Yucca's have become a popular houseplant in recent years.

Care

The Yucca plant enjoys warm, dry conditions and will grow best in a sunny spot. Overwatering is a common problem with Yuccas and the topsoil should completely dry out before each time. Being used to the contrasting day and night temperatures of the desert means the Yucca is really hardy to a range of conditions. Fertilise once a month during the growing season with diluted liquid fertiliser

The flowers that bloom on Yucca's in their native habitat are the national flower of El Salvador, locally called izote.
