Yucca Elephantipes: Care Guide for Leggy Growth

Identified: Yucca elephantipes

Your mom was half-right: likes dry soil, but needs bright direct light (uncovered sunny window all day).

Care

• Water when top inch of soil feels very dry.
• Do not repot.
• Fertilize sparingly or not at all.

Fix Legginess

1. Cut tallest stem to ~3 inches above soil.
2. New growth emerges below cut.
3. Top cutting can root in water or be discarded.
4. Repeat with other stems as desired.
