How to Care for the Plant

Water
Yucca plants require the top 2.5 inches 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. however the how often you water depends on how quickly the top 2.5 inches of the soil dries out.
Pruning
Trim out dead and damaged leaves any time, pinching off or cutting off each of those leaves at its base. Avoid cutting into a plant's main stems or its crown, which is where its leaves and roots meet.
Fertilizer
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.
