The Yucca is mainly found in Guatemala and Honduras.
The Yukka likes to be in a light place (no direct sun), but half shade is also possible. In the summer, a place on the terrace is no problem, but watch out for temperatures below 8 degrees. Avoid outside or the midday sun.
Add fertilizer once every two weeks during the growing period from April to August. Do not water too much, especially in winter. Slightly more water in the growing season than in winter.
Prefer to keep the soil a little drier. The plant must not remain standing with its feet in the water. Wipe the leaves of the Yucca occasionally with a damp cloth.
Dry air is no problem for the Yucca houseplant, so spraying is not immediately necessary. However, spraying it once or summers in the rain ensures that the dust is removed.
Because the Yucca needs little food, fertilizing is only advisable in the spring and summers. no food in winter! Too much food can lead to burnt roots. Use Pokon green plant food for this.
The yucca will constantly create new leaves from the heart. The lower leaves can die (natural process) and you can remove them by pulling them down.
Check the Yuca regularly for diseases. Look under and between the leaves, the sooner you notice the disease, the greater the chance of effective control.
A yucca can bloom outside. The flowers are spectacular to see, when a yucca starts flowering in the house it is advisable to remove the flower. This flower requires a lot of energy from the plant.
It is advisable to transfer the Yuka into a larger pot immediately after purchase. Do this preferably in the spring so that any damaged roots can "quickly recover during this growth period".
