The yucca is a dark-green perennial that has thick, sword-shaped leaves. The plant has a beautiful, elegant look with white flowers. Like the cactus, the yucca stores its water and saves it for later; the yucca stores its water in its trunk. The yucca can cause vomiting and weakness in pets, but it has a more harmful effect on large, grazing animals. How to Care for a Yucca Light: Yucca thrives in full sunlight, so they are perfect for that west-facing window where everything else burns up. Yucca naturally grows in sandy, dry deserts. Water: Yucca is highly sensitive to water-logging. Water regularly in the spring andsummer growing season, but make sure the plant has excellent drainage and dries between waterings. Water sporadically in the winter. Never let a yucca plant sit in a tray of water. Soil: Plant the yucca in a loose, well-drained potting mix. The potting mix doesn't need to be specially formulated or rich; in fact, this isn't a good idea for low maintenance yuccas. Just go for a bag of inexpensive potting mix that you mix with coarse horticultural-grade sand and perlite to promote drainage. Temperature and Humidity: The yucca is adapted to the desert, where temperatures can soar into the 90s or higher and down into the 30s at night. Fertilizer: Fertilize during the growing season with liquid fertilizer or controlled-release fertilizer according to label instructions. Potting:Pot Size: 20-22 CM
