The yuccas comprise the genus Yucca of 40-50 species of perennials, shrubs, and trees in the agave family Agavaceae, notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal clusters of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry parts of North America, Central America, and the West Indies.

... making the fatal mistake that a lot of people do by putting there yucca in a shaded bathroom or dark hall way, near a window in direct light is best and on a very warm summers day they love to go out side in the sun. You will need to water your yucca a lot during spring, summer and autum and not let the soil dry out but during winter let your soil dry out inbetween watering. Because yuccas have thin trunks and lots of leaves at the top they tend to be a bit top heavy so you are better using a heavy ceramic pot to keep...more

My sister has a Yucca plant neglected in the bathroom. It's a sad and sorry sight. It has a few straggly pale leaves. Though it has begun to make something of a recovery in the more light exposed bathroom after having only recently been moved there from the dimly lit living room where it had been suffocating for many years from a lack of light and too much smoke. Yuccas are easy to grow but that's no way to treat your Yucca. ~~ In The Wild ~~ There are between thirty or forty species of Yucca growing naturally in South America. In it's natural habitat the plant can reach up to fifty feet in height. It is a hardy plant that can withstand more temperate ... Read the complete review

The Yucca plant (Yucca Elepantipes) belongs to the Agavaceae family and, like many members of this family, originates from the warm, dry, sandy soils of Central and North America. In it’s natural habitat the Yucca can grow up to forty-five feet in height, and is crowned with dark green, stiff, sword-shaped leaves. But before you start thinking about cutting a whole in your ceilings and roof to accommodate this monster fear not! At the very most indoor specimens grow to about eight feet in height and can be comfortably housed in any room. A word of warning about the leaves though, they are very pointed and sharp, not only on the ends but also the edges, so when ... Read the complete review

Yucca, Many offices and homes have a yucca plant; personally I am not very keen on this plant. The Yucca belongs to the lilleacea family (lily). There are between 40 and 50 species of this plant/ it is a native of Mexico, north and Central America. The biggest is the Joshua tree. The one you would probably see in your office is Yucca guatemalensis / elephantipes or yucca aloifolia These plants are suited to an office environment liking it hot and dry. Yucca guatemalensis is a yucca often grown as a house plant in the UK This plant can grow up to 30 foot high. These leaves are not too sharp like some other species of yucca. The leaves do grow to 3 or 4 ... Read the complete review
