Intro
Yucca belongs to the family Asparagaceae and is also called palm lily. The plant originates from Central America. It is a characteristic plant with a modern appearance.
Location
The Yucca likes an average pitch. The plant can be planted anywhere, but not in full sun or shade. The plant can go outside, but not in the bright sun.
Watering
Yucca generally does not like much water. The soil must be dried up for a long time before the plant needs to be given new water. Too much water can lead to root rot, which in turn can have worse consequences for the plant. It is difficult to say exactly how much water is needed, as it depends on light intensity, temperature, and size. No water should remain in the pot, so the moisture should be absorbed by the soil.
Spraying
Dry air is no problem for the Yucca houseplant, so spraying is not directly necessary. However, occasional spraying or summers once in the rain ensures that the dust is removed.
Flowering
Outside a yucca can start flowering. The flowers are spectacular to see, when a yucca starts to bloom in the house it is advisable to remove the flower. This flower costs a lot of energy from the plant.
Pruning
The Yucca will create new leaves over and over again from the heart. The lower leaves can die off (a natural process) and you can remove them by pulling them down.
Origin
Yucca is mainly found in Guatemala and Honduras. Better known as the Palmlily. This self-willed stress reliever is known for its pointed leaves and Tex-Mex appearance. Tough, prickly, and reliable: actually Yucca is the cowboy among the houseplants.
Diseases
It is advisable to check the Yucca from time to time for pests. Pests can be prevented by regular spraying. If there are still pests, it is advisable to control them as soon as possible with a biological or chemical pesticide.
