Popularity

The plant is drought-tolerant; suitable for xeriscaping which means growing without additional watering but rainfall. In very dry climates, water outdoor specimens with about one inch of water weekly. Do not allow plants to sit in water.

Water

Plant in the site with ample sun.

Sunlight

Yuccas generally like substantial, well-drained soil that will support the roots and the weight of the plant along with providing good air circulation beneath the soil. Be sure the soil you choose is not excessively rich (pH 5.5-7.5) with plenty of loose material, such as vermiculite, sand or small pebbles to provide good drainage.

Soil

Fertilizing is usually not necessary, but you can provide a light annual feeding if desired. To do this, sprinkle granular, balanced time-release fertilizer in a large circle around the plant. Estimate where you believe the edges of the roots are, and make your circle accordingly.

Fertilizer

It is hardy to drought and severe freezes. Can withstand temperatures of -20 to -30°F (-28 to -34°C). May need winter protection.

Temperature

When caring for yucca cane plants wear Personal Protective Equipment such as protective eyewear or goggles, gloves, long sleeve shirt.
