Yucca gloriosa outdoors:

Prefer a planting in spring in a very sunny place.

Yucca does not need very rich soil and particularly likes sandy soils.

In areas where it freezes, choose a container culture that you can bring in in the colder months.

Watering the Yucca

You should not overwater because the plant likes rather dry soils.

Watering every fortnight is normally more than enough in hot weather and only if you think your yucca is sagging.

Pruning Yucca gloriosa

No pruning is necessary.
You will be able remove the flowers after they are faded.

If the yucca leaves turn yellow

It is certainly a excess water. It is then necessary to stop all watering.
The yucca, like all plants, experiences a period of vegetative rest during which its needs are limited.

Indoors, choose a very bright place but away from heat sources, such as a radiator or the sun during the hottest hours.

Good to know about outdoor yucca
