The easy to grow Yucca Cane is a great choice for the first-time plant owner. Showing off its sword-like foliage on a broad cane, this plant makes a bold statement. The Yucca plant is a native of Guatemala and southeast Mexico, so it likes to be kept dry.
Yucca plants prefer to be on the dry side and are considered drought-tolerant plants, which makes sense given their desert origins. In general, allow about the top half of the soil to become dry before watering. More specific watering requirements will depend on how much light your yucca plant receives. In lower light conditions, water your plant less; in brighter light conditions, water your plant a bit more. Overwatering is probably the only way to kill a yucca.
Your Yucca prefers bright indirect light. It will tolerate lower light, but growth will slow. If the Yucca is exposed to direct light, the leaves may burn.
Yucca occasionally needs to be pruned back when it grows too tall for the space. Remove the plant gently from its pot and use a saw or sharp pair of loppers to cut the trunk in half. Repot the rooted end of the trunk, and water it well.
Toxicity. Plants in the Yucca genus contain the toxin saponins, which are harmful to cats as well as dogs, horses and grazing livestock, reports the ASPCA. Yucca is just one of the many plants that contain this potentially dangerous steroidal compound.
