Bring Bold Structure Indoors with Yucca Elephantipes

Yucca elephantipes, also known as the Spineless Yucca or Giant Yucca, is prized for its thick woody trunk and dramatic sword-shaped leaves. Native to Central America, this evergreen tree makes an eye-catching architectural statement in any home.

• Growth Habit: Upright and robust, the Yucca forms a distinctive silhouette without taking up much floor space—perfect for corners or as a striking focal point.
• Mature Size: With care, your plant can reach impressive heights of up to 10m (32') and a spread of 4.5m (14'), though it grows slowly indoors.
• Pot Options: Choose from single or duo-stemmed plants in a practical 17cm grow pot. Decorative pots are not included, so you can personalise your display.

Caring for Your Yucca Elephantipes

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but will tolerate some direct sun. Avoid deep shade to maintain healthy growth.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings—Yucca is drought-tolerant and dislikes soggy roots. Water less in winter.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix is essential. Use cactus or succulent compost for best results.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during spring and summer for steady growth.
• Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base as needed. Repot every few years to refresh soil and encourage root health.
• Pest & Safety: Generally pest-free but keep away from pets—Yucca leaves are toxic if ingested.

Design Ideas & Placement

• Create height and drama in living rooms, offices, or hallways.
• Pair with other sun-loving houseplants like Dracaena or Ficus for a contemporary indoor jungle effect.
• Add your own decorative pot for a personalised touch that suits any interior style.
