How to fertilize 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 Yucca after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

#WhatTheSuccWednesday

When I got Anne from a local greenhouse her leaves were all curled so I repotted her and her leaves have still not straightened out. How can I help her?
-
I have 2 (RARE) yuccas filamentosa plants…Color guard & Excalibur. Jus propagated them both.
-
How big will Anne get ?
-
Would Anne be able to live through a Maine winter if I planted her in the yard ? I have a cactus that makes it back every year.

Why is my Yucca never needing water?? It's been over a month since my Yucca has been watered. What is the deal? The soil is still moist. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #yucca #bluestemyucca #water #greggang

New leaves! Hi everyone, I’m celebrating the success of my yucca. I inherited it from a neighbour a few months ago and it was fine but I found maggots in the very poorly draining soil. I repotted it and now it is getting full and perky! So pleasing! #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #Yucca

#yucca hi everyone. I cut a pup off the yucca I had to abandon when I sold my house. 😥 it’s been about 6 weeks. It’s about 6 inches tall. I’ve been leaving it alone but I checked today bc a bottom leaf was yellow. It did not root. I was watering it sparsely bc I read not to overwater to avoid rot. Can I cut a fresh bottom and try again? Put rooting powder? I read just stick it in the ground, somebody’s grew out ttheir compost pile when they threw it out. I hope there’s a way to save it. I’m rather emotionally attached. Ty
