Plant Care – Yucca Elephantipes ‘Spineless Yucca’
Light: Place your Yucca Elephantipes ‘Spineless Yucca’ at a location where it can receive full sun, such as an outdoor garden. It can tolerate a slight shade, but too much shade will lead to a leggy plant.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out before watering your plant. Water thoroughly and allow some water to flow through its drainage holes. The Yucca is a drought-tolerant plant and should avoid being overwatered to prevent root rot. Depending on the weather, watering may be required more frequently when placed outdoors.
Soil: The Yucca is native to the desert, which explains their drought tolerance. And with that, they thrive in well-draining, infertile sandy soil.
Fertiliser: Fertilising is not necessary. If you would like, fertilise them with a slow-releasing fertiliser with lower nitrogen levels.
Humidity Requirement: Medium
