Caring for yucca does not require much effort

In appearance, yucca resembles a palm tree, so experienced gardeners call it a false palm. For beginners, this plant is an ideal option. Caring for yucca is quite unpretentious. It can be grown in pots on window sills, greenhouses and garden plots.

Yucca care

Homeland of yucca are the subtropics, where everyone knows the climate is moderately humid. It follows from this that for successful growth it would be a good idea to create conditions that approximate the natural habitat.

The plant loves the sun, give it the sunny side.

Yucca loves fresh air, so in the summer, take it out of the room. In winter, place it in a bright and cool room, where the temperature will not exceed 10 - 14 degrees Celsius. It is important to emphasize that light frosts will not cause harm. But placing it in a room with a radiator will entail negative consequences in the form of yucca diseases.

In summer, wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every three days. No need to spray. And in winter, remove dust from it once a week to prevent the occurrence of pests. In winter, humidify the air, not the yucca.

Don't overdo it when watering. She prefers moderate moisture. A slight drought will not harm, unlike very wet soil. Therefore, before the next watering, make sure that the soil is dry.

Should be replanted every two years. The optimal time is March - early April. When purchasing ready-made soil in specialized stores, choose a mixture for palm trees.To prepare your own soil, you will need two parts each of soil and humus and one part each of sand and peat.
