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

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.

I repotted my yucca because of root rot, that seems to have corrected by now there are so many dried and yellow’d spikes. I’ve been trying to be cautious with watering. Not sure what I should do? #BlueStemYucca
