Do yucca plants need direct sunlight?
Your Yucca Cane will do best in bright indirect light. If the Yucca is exposed to direct light, the leaves may burn. It can tolerate lower light areas but will grow much slower. The Yucca Cane is a drought-tolerant plant and does not require much water.
How do you care for potted yucca plants?
Watering: Yuccas are extremely drought tolerant, but will look better with regular watering of about an inch per week during spring and summer, along with an occasional deep soaking. They'll require less water over winter. Yellow leaves and/or soft roots can be a sign of overwatering.
Should yucca plants be cut back?
Like most plants, the best time for pruning a yucca is right before it goes into its growth period. This will be in early spring. While early spring is the ideal time, a yucca can be pruned anytime. Just make sure the yucca plant gets plenty of light while it is recovering.
Why are the tips of my yucca plant Brown?
When your yucca plant has brown tips, it's likely due to fluoride toxicity. This issue generally starts as small brown spots on leaf margins but soon encompasses the entire leaf tip. It's especially bad on older leaves. There's no serious risk with fluoride toxicity, but it does make a yucca look unsightly.
What kills a yucca plant?
Pour stump remover or herbicide into the holes. This will spread throughout the root system and eventually kill it—at which time the yucca plant can be dug up and removed from the area. While it may take several attempts to get rid of yucca plants, sooner or later the yucca roots will weaken and die.
How often should I water a yucca plant?
Yucca is highly sensitive to water-logging. Water regularly in the spring and summer growing season, but make sure the plant has excellent drainage and dries between waterings. Water sporadically in the winter. Never let a yucca plant sit in a tray of water.

You can propagate Yucca via division, root cuttings, stem cuttings and seeds.
