How do you keep a yucca plant alive?

Actually, the yucca does need bright light to thrive, in fact will live outside in Florida. It is pretty tough and needs water only when dry. You can keep it in the sunniest location inside and it will thrive, if light levels are low, water once a month and realize it won't do as well. They get a mite problem sometimes that resembles a gray mold on the leaves, the problem can be solved with a mixture of 1/2 tbsp ammonia in a pint of water. The plant will root from cuttings readily in water or soil, so if it gets too tall you can cut it back and it will resprout below the cut and you'll get two for the price of one. Also, be careful of the leaves, the tips are sharp and can scratch or cut your skin but especially be careful of your eyes. Note that this is for an indoor (tropical) yucca, not the one that grows outside in the landscape up north. Try doing a search for more information if you want to know the exact species. They are more likely to die from too much water than not enough. Good luck and enjoy the plant.

Reply:I live in Michigan and have a Yucca I got from a local golf course. They have many plants and the maintenance guy said to keep water to a minimum, have well drained soil and pretty much leave it alone. It has been through 2 winters in my yard and I do nothing to protect it in the winter.
