Bluestem yucca Care

Yucca plants require the top 2.5 inches (6.35cm) of the soil to feel dry to the touch before watering. this typically means watering yucca plants every 10-14 days but can vary according to differences in climate.

It is important because damaged leaves and stems can actually be an energy drain on your plant. By removing those dead parts, you're taking some of that work off your plant’s plate and allowing it to divert its energy into healthy leaves and new growth!

Liquid fertilizers are applied more frequently, bi-weekly or monthly, for example. Granular products are used less frequently, perhaps once every month or two. Slow-release houseplant fertilizers break down slowly and release their nutrients in small amounts, over a longer period of time. A single application of most of these products lasts for three to four months.

All plants require light for photosynthesis, the process within a plant that converts light, oxygen and water into carbohydrates (energy). Plants require this energy in order to grow, bloom and produce seed. Without adequate light, carbohydrates cannot be manufactured, the energy reserves are depleted and plants die. They need 12-14 hours of indirect sunlight.

A loam soil contains a nice balance of silt, sand, and clay along with humus.

Outside, this plant can be grown in the areas with the lowest winter temperatures of 25°F (−3.9°C) to 40°F (+4.4°C). Inside, average room temperatures from 65°F (18.3°C) - 75°F (23.8°C) will suffice.

Choose a pot with drainage holes, which also ensures potting soil doesn't stay too wet after watering your houseplants. The excess can freely escape out the bottom of the container, allowing oxygen to make its way to plant roots.
