How to fertilize Banana Yucca
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Banana Yucca after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My yucca got a massive scale infestation last year. I neemed him, covered him in DE, and put him in the basement away from the rest of the plants. I decided to make him a "mother tree" I cut out the dead. Put prop balls on each limb and took a bunch of chonks, covered them in cinnamon, and stuck in the ground. It's been a couple weeks and I'm seeing new growth on a chonk and the main tree 😍🥳 #yucca #propagation #propball

Repotted using succulent soil and have been under watering in hopes to dry out the soil since I heard underwatering is better than overwatering but the stems still look weak and lower leaves are wilting #BlueStemYucca

#BlueStemYucca #ThrivingOnNeglect For the second time my Yucca has been brought back from the brink. I have a hard time just sticking it outside and letting nature do its work. But it really loves my little north facing porch. This time though I’m hoping putting it near grow lights will help it continue to thrive over winter.

Mine doesn’t want to stand up straight. Beautiful symmetry. New leaves sprout regularly from center. Old leaves begin to die from ends.
