Water regularly. Do not over-do.
Sometimes, let soil a bit dry too.
Care Tips - A sturdy plant that does best in a light spot, but not in full sunlight. Water regularly but let the compost dry out between waterings from spring to autumn and water sparingly in winter. Yucca benefits from a spell outdoors in summer.

Help with my Yucca plants?
I have 3 Yucca plants in the same pot. The leaves on one side are turning yellow and falling off. I thought you are not supposed to water this plant more than once a week. How often and how much am I supposed to water it? I over watered it before and the tips of the leaves turned brown. I cant figure it out. Help
Help with my Yucca plants?
they are very drought tolerant and very intolerant of overwatering.
yours are probably suffering from root-us rot-us
remove the plant from the soil that it is in and repot into fresh potting soil.
they only need to be watered a couple times A MONTH
make sure the pot has good drainage
they prefer a small pot so the soil dries out quickly
Reply:you shouldnt water it but about once a month it's a cactus and they don't like a lot of water

yucca are very easy to propagate try laying it sideways in some soil you do not have to bury it..I have lots of yuccas and once they get really tall they lay over and where they touch the ground they root.

How to transplant a Yucca Plant to a bigger pot?
If you don't want to save the old pot, simply break it to release the plant and roots. If it is root bound, slice through and/or trim the excessive root system and repot in a larger container. Yucca are very hardy plants and are hard to kill. This also might be a good time to divide the plant into two or more containers.
Good luck.
How to transplant a Yucca Plant to a bigger pot?

What are some benefits of the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Storage Facility?
The formation that makes up Yucca Mountain was created by several large eruptions from a caldera volcano and is composed of alternating layers of ignimbrite (welded tuff), non-welded tuff, and semi-welded tuff. Tuff has special physical, chemical and thermal characteristics that some experts believe make it a suitable material to entomb radioactive waste for the hundreds of thousands of years required for the waste to become safe through radioactive decay.

Does yucca palm tree grow flower in them?

Does yucca palm tree grow flower in them?
The Yucca-Palm is one of the common names for the Joshua Tree. Check out this site for more information about them. It includes photos of the flower, fruit, etc. http://www.delange.org/JoshuaTree/Joshua...
IN RESPONSE TO FURTHER COMMENTS BELOW:
In the botanical world, there are often many different common names for the same plant. There are several different varieties of plant that are often described with the same common name.
As such:
Yucca Palm Tree IS one of the common names used to describe the Yucca brevifolia or Joshua Tree. It very well may be used to also describe the Yucca elata or Soaptree Yucca, but I've personally not heard it referred to as such. It does look much like a small palm tree, so I suppose it would be accurate to call it such if you desire. http://www.fireflyforest.com/flowers/whi...
St. Pepper and M W are both somewhat correct. FYI folks, the Yucca Genus is seperate from the Agave Genus, it was, however, originally classified in the Agave Family, and has subsequently been reclassified into the Lily Family. So you're both right to a point.
Reply:The most spectacular are in Peru, 15 + feet, commonly known there as agave.
The ones I see around the pacifc NW look a little scraggly after a while.
Reply:yucca and agave are completely different things...
yucca is its own genus, so is agave. they're not the same at all.
there is no yucca palm...the things people call yucca palms are actually Soaptree Yuccas, or "Our Lord's Candles." And those aren't the same, or even close to a Joshua Tree.
And a Century plant is Agave americana, not a yucca.
but yes, yuccas will flower.

not a palm, yucca is an agave, like a century plant or taquila
different type of yucca flower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Yucca...
Reply:Sgt Pepper your information is not correct. Although they are separate genus, they are both in the agave family.
Yes they flower, and most have scent, it all depends on the individual species whether or not it is considered a good smell.
They are all pollinated by specific species of moths in a symbiotic relationship the ensures the continuation of both species.
