Yucca flower care: watering, maintaining temperature

An evergreen plant with long pointed leaves and beautiful bell-like flowers, came to us from distant North America and very quickly won the love of many gardeners. In hot climates (in particular, in the Caucasus and Crimea), this plant feels great in open ground, but in the central zone it can only be grown as a houseplant.

Yucca flower care includes regular watering of the plant, as well as maintaining a special temperature and air humidity. So, the flower should be watered abundantly in the spring-autumn period, but so that there is no water left in the pan; in winter, watering should be moderate. It is very important not to allow water to stagnate in the soil, otherwise the Yucca roots and stems may rot. The plant feels best at a moderate, slightly cool temperature: It is best if the thermometer is at 16-18 degrees. The plant does not need to be washed regularly; it is enough to simply keep its leaves free of dust from time to time or take it out onto the balcony when it rains.

Caring for a Yucca flower also involves providing the plant with the necessary lighting. So, in the summer it is advisable to take the flower pot out into the garden or onto the balcony and place it in a sunny place. With insufficient lighting, Yucca leaves become sparse and dull, and the plant loses all its beauty. Therefore, even in winter the flower should be placed as close to the light source as possible (for example, on a windowsill or on a glassed-in loggia, if it’s not too cold there).
