About Bají
Bají is a super rare houseplant 🌿 that needs very little water to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light ☀️ and should be less than 1 foot from a window.
Bají likes soil that is extremely well-draining. Your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size.
⚠️ Bají is extremely dangerous if consumed. If you, a family member, or a pet has ingested any amount of plant material contact Poison Control, US (800) 222-1222, or your veterinarian immediately. These plants are not recommended for homes with children, cats, or dogs.

Finding light for Bají in your home
Bají love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Bají does not tolerate low-light 🚫.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Bají in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Bají
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 Bají after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

A while back I noticed my Spineless/Blue-Stem yucca had severe root rot. So I cut off the health part and repotted her. It's been approximately 2 months since then and yesterday I noticed that I have a little new pup growing. I'm so happy and so excited! Just wanted to share 😁

My plant overall looks healthy, but I constantly have yellow/browning leaves…. does anyone have any tips?

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

Help! Why are her leaves turning yellow? I have no clue what happened here. She sits in this little corner and has been happy for ever… Thoughts? #BlueStemYucca #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #

How do i take care of this yucca plant My mom got her first house Plant and she told me to look up care tips for it. Can you please help me? I would appreciate it a lot. It is about 12 feet away from the window. Those blinds are sometimes opened often but they do shine in a little bit of light. Do they like bright light can they tolerate low light this window does get direct in the day but it’s rarely opened any tips thank you #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewPlantMom #yucca #PlantCorner #ThanksForPhotosynthesis #Trees #tree #TreeAddict #plantlovers

White powder?? I’ve started to noticed this white power like substance between these new leaves. I’ve recently cut off stems with root rot and re planted the rest with a mix of inorganics. Unsure if this is related?? Is it a bug?? Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated 🙏 #BlueStemYucca
