Yucca Filifera
Yucca Filifera is a fast-growing evergreen tree that is native to northern Mexico. It can grow up to 9 meters tall and has spear-shaped leaves with curled filaments that appear as peeling threads from the edges. It is not fully hardy in the UK unless kept completely dry in winter, which is difficult given its eventual height of 9m (although it rarely grows to this height in the UK). Yucca Filifera should be grown in very free-draining soil or compost in a sheltered spot in full sun. It should be protected from winter wet or grown in a container which you can move indoors in autumn.
Soil and Sunlight: Yucca Filifera should be grown in very free-draining soil or compost in a sheltered spot in full sun.
Watering: It should be protected from winter wet or grown in a container which you can move indoors in autumn 1. From November to March, reduce watering significantly. Once or twice a month is usually sufficient but always be sure to just monitor the soil. This sensitivity to overwatering means the plant is prone to both root and trunk rot. If left for too long, your Yucca Plant may not be able to be saved 2.
Fertilization: Follow the instructions on the packet of feed for directions. Over fertilisation of your Yucca Plant can lead to root burn; always follow the instructions on the back of the packet. Once the growing season is over, avoid adding any fertiliser to the compost as the plant will try to push out new growth at the wrong time of year 2.
Pruning: If the plant grows too tall, you can simply chop the trunk to your desired height – new branches will form beneath it 1.
