I just picked one up from the store today. It was behind a bunch of palms neglected with cobwebs and discounted. It’s about 4’ tall with 4 variegated trunks. This plant looks amazing! Thanks for the video 👍
I've been looking everywhere online to see why the tips of my Yucca were turning brown and crispy, so thank you so much for mentioning that it just needs some humidity. It's definitely not a watering issue so that has to be it!
I have to say that this winter my cane yucca stand outside for 4 consecutive days with temperature reaching down to -5c at night to 0c at day here in North Greece. It was snowing for a hole day and then the frost came! Not even a leaf has been damaged and I am really impressed on the grounds that this was selling as a "houseplant only" plant! I have grown it outside since 2 years now and it is doing great in a pot! I can't wait to transplanting it this march into a bigger pot.
I love this plant. I live in Louisiana and they’re common here. I had one at my old house and it was probably 20 feet tall. Very hardy too. Mine would take occasional frost no problem. I live in zone 9a, but we sometimes dip in the high teens every few years. They would burn at this temp, but survived. In northern Louisiana (8a/b) I’ve seen mature plants killed to the ground at 13 degrees, but they’d come back in spring from the roots.
oh they are very root hardy! I planted one in my garden when I was a kid and it would die back and return each spring here in zone 6... but was near a brick wall and the asphalt driveway.
You never fail to disappoint 😍 I lost two yucca last year because I didn’t know how to maintain it. It was rotting out so I tossed it, but I wish I could’ve salvaged the growths coming off of it!
It happens! I'm struggling a little with mine right now because it is getting too much water from my hose where I put it and I didn't realize it until it started to yellow some. Woops!
My husband: that thing is gonna take someone’s eye out. Me: what kind of idiot gets poked in the eye by a stationary plant....also me 2 days later *idiot fully poked in eye by stationary plant*
Your videos are all full of great info and entertaining. You cut out all the rambling most other UA-camrs tend to do and that’s 👍🏼. Keep up the great videos! Subscribed
I just bout one and wanted to learn how to care for it. It has a big trunk and that’s what drew me to it, it’s a beautiful plant and looks a lot like yours but your plants are more top heavy and looks more mature than mine. It is so beautiful!!!
I love mine! I just pulled mine out of my growspace this morning and it has so much new growth I hadn't even noticed... the thick trunk was what drew me in too!
Three minutes in and you had answered all of my questions about my finicky yucca plant. They may not be finicky in general, but this one in particular is. Thank you! 💙 PS I ALSO love a thick wonky trunk!
Ok, great, I think I'll let them stay in the original pot til maybe end of summer, just give them a good drenching and sit in the big pot, like you suggested and fill in with "empty water-bottles", great idea! Thanks!
Thank you! I've been trying to find good advice that made sense for my yucca. It's trunk is only about 14" tall but it's nearly 6" in diameter, bit of a chubby bubby... :D It's also got 4 very large, full, and tall off shoots and I didn't know if I could just cut and root them or not. My pot is easily 4x's the size of yours so apparently I have room and thanks to you, now I know how. :D
I just got one!!!! I love your videos!!!!! And I got the cactus mix too. I love the big trunk. Its so cool. I've been looking for one and went to Menards and they actually had one and it was the last one!
I just got one of these from a big box store and repot it in a mix of half cactus and half regular pot and soil… It’s getting a lot of indirect light from the large window. Fingers crossed I keep it alive! Thank you for the great tips…
My yucca is struggling. I see a lot of gnats on the yellow sticky trap. I got it 3 months ago and the leaves are turning yellow and brown. Some are spotted and most have a powdery white thing on them. It has 3 stalks and the smallest one has only about 7 leaves while the tallest stalks inside leaves are all dying turning brown.
I bought a tiny one several years ago, now it's almost as tall as I am. Sadly, after I moved I thought it tolerates lower light since it wasn't in the brightest spot in my old place, and I have lost a lot of leaves which is really sad. It looked so awesome before, I had like a yard of foliage growth, maybe more. I am contemplating cutting it back and starting over, but where to put the other propegated parts? I'm the only one of my friends who's really into plants.
Hi.. thank you for this very informative video but I really need your help. I have a store bought small yucca, I usually keep it hydrated and not too wet but it doesn't seem to be doing well. There are no new leaves and the all the others are droopy.. don't know what to do 😞😞😞
This video was helpful. I got mine from IKEA in the summer. She was thriving then I had to move her from the kitchen (moved back from strong direct light) to the front room (bright indirect light). She’s not doing so well. Her leaves are yellowing and brittle. I will change the soil and see if that helps. I typically stick my finger or a wooden chopstick to see if it’s dry, then I will water. I mist her every few days. I recently sprinkled some fertilizer on the top of the soil and watered.
Really nice yucca. I actually purchased one very similar, it's about 5'5 ft tall,it also has 2 canes, one very thick like yours. Purchased about 3 weeks ago, I haven't watered it, I noticed some yellowing leaves near the bottom. I was wondering if I should check to see if its root bound when I water it this weekend for the first time. I am a bit heavy handed with the water, so I deided to wait and let this one get really dry. I believe it had just been watered when I purchased it. It is currently in about a 3-5 gallon pot, I have a really big pot, may double that size, I want to repot it into, It is ok to repot these plants in a really big pot, or do the roots like to be somewhat crowded?
Hello Theresa! Yuccas grow well when their roots are somewhat confined, but if you notice that when you water the soil is being wetted ( water just runs right through the pot ) then it might be ready for a repotting. Also look to see if there are a lot of roots on the surface where there should be soil, that is another indication of being overly pot bound. The yellowing is likely just from some thirst if the plant has been dry for more than a week. In general with most plants, yuccas included, just bumping up the pot size about 2 inches on the outer diameter is sufficient. With these yuccas specifically you would probably be alright to move it into your large pot but it might be a good idea to wait until late spring or early summer when the plants are in active growth and will respond to a repotting better. If you are apprehensive to make the big move in the pot size you can always set the entire plant with the nursery pot into the center of your larger pot (assuming it fits) and fill in around with soil and plant succulents around the base or just fill the gap with stones or water bottles, lol, anything that will keep it stable if stability is even an issue.
My parents have a LARGE one in their yard. When I was a kid, I remember the plant would have these white flowers, and our "neighbors" would help themselves to it, chopping it off from the top. :(
I have one and I think the buttom is rotting and the 2 tall trunks are losing leaved and getting yellow but right from the bulb that I thing it may be rotting the are 2 new plants growing??? Im very confused. Can I cure this plant? Does it have any king of plague?
I have a yukka cane plant, our cat was using it as a toilet and my husband took the plant outside. It was winter, by the time I had repotted it, all the leaves were dead and it seems that the branches are dead. The trunk feels like it still has life. How can I revive this beautiful plant?
Lots of light, lots of warmth and keep you're fingers crossed. Their roots are more hardy than their trunks, so even if it doesn't come back from the trunk, it could send up offshoots from the soil.
Thank you. I have an approx 4.5' yucca like the smaller one seen in your video and I really want to see it thrive. I bought it from Homebase, a DIY store here in the UK. I wondered if I should change the soil. What would be the best soil for it? You mentioned cactus soil or coconut? I wondered if the soil the store provided is too water retentive... It's looking good the plant...I have had it two weeks...gave it a little water about a week ago
Hey! If they are like the one in the video where the growth is coming from the sides of the trunk, then there isn't much you can do to thicken it up. If it is a single growth with no offshoots then you can cut the top growth which will encourage it to branch and to thicken, but will only make a slight difference with the girth. I've read that with some succulent type plants, you can plant them in a very wide and shallow pot to help thicken them up. I've never tried that with a yucca before. Usually with plants like yucca the trunk's thickness is determined by the hydration the plant recieved when it was smaller and just starting to develop their trunk.
You must have filmed this a while back, I notice the Hydrangeas are still lush with blooms and the sweet potato vines are still in the palm pots. 🙂 But talking about fertilizing, what fertilizer(s) do you use? I started using the Espoma brand organic fertilizers this year. Not because I care about organic or synthetic, but the rose formula was recommended to me by a rose grower and I find it very easy and effective. Sprinkle it on once a month, my roses have never looked and bloomed better (there are only three because most roses don't last here). I bought the Palm Tone and Flower Tone formulas later for my hibiscus and other flowers, gotta say I am pleased. The plants actually seem better than when I was using Osmosote or Miracle-Gro slow release pellets.
I use a variety of fertilizers, but espoma is my main brand. I like their blends because they not only feed the plants through a release of micro and macro nutrients, but they enrich the soil which long term, via fungi and bacteria helps to grow nice strong plants with balanced health. I have never been dissapointed with any of the fertilizers I've used from them. Now i do have some plants that i typically grow more as an annual, like elephant ears and bananas that I sometimes just go for high nitrogen once they have set their roots out, and then I just use a homemade beer, ammonia epsom salt mix. But that's not something I use for perennials like roses, hydrangeas or shrubs in general. Only other brand I'm a pretty big fan of is J.R Peters, they have some nice blends too, especially when I want something with a lot of potassium for the petunias and hibiscus. I miss my roses! There just isn't enough sun for them in the late summer and fall for them in my yard anymore. I may try potting some up next year so I can move them around seasonally to stay in the sun, but they just do so much better in the ground. What kind of roses are you growing? ... wouldn't it be nice if with all of the hybridizing they are doing if they would make some roses for hot and wet climates!?
I have two very old hybrids, Clotilde Soupert (very fragrant) and Old Blush (mild fragrance), and one Double Red Knockout Rose. I like the Knockout because it grows and blooms steadily but it has no fragrance. The other two tend to produce a mass of blooms, rest, regrow and then another flush of blooms. All three are suited to growing in south FL, very disease resistant and heat tolerant (though the blooms on Clotilde Soupert can suffer if it is very hot and wet). The thing about growing roses well in Florida is 1) they need to be own root 2) they do better planted in containers because of nematodes in the soil here. There are some newer hybrids (like the Knockout line) which are supposed to be suited to growing here but I can only ever find them grafted. I've been trying to find a Belinda's Dream, which is a gorgeous pink, for over a year. I think the trick to growing roses well in a container (at least here) is to use a ridiculously large pot comparative to the plant which gives the roots room to expand and keeps the soil more evenly moist, use a rather heavy potting media (50% potting soil/50% garden soil) and fertilize well. I can see how sun is a problem in your yard with the trees maturing (and roses do love their sun). If only you could create a garden on the roof for the sun lovers 😉.
Hello, nice vidoe! I lost a yucca to root rot due to the heavy potting mix. This year I replaced a new yucca and pot it in cactus mix. But my ceramic pot only with one hole on the side of its bottom. Should I water until the water runs out every time, for this pot, it's so hard to let the water out for the side hole. Thank you!
Really nice video i have a question i bought one recently and can see black tape thing on top of trunk.I can see that on yours as well.what is that for?and do i n3ed to take it off?
I love my yucca plant, but is not happy. Just sadly cut more than 10 yellow leaves tonight, siting by south side by the window with direct sun, watering every 10-14. Please help me to save this beauty.
I have one I've had for 8-9 years. It has three long arms on it branching out from the top. Do I cut those of to get it to grow like the one shown here?
Hi there! I have one of these and I’ve been noticing that the leaves are drooping kind of like mid-leaf (if that makes sense). I did notice some of your yucca’s leaves are doing the same thing. Is this normal? It’s growing a lot of new leaves and those are nice and upright/straight. Not sure what’s going on with those bent leaves though 🤔 Could I email you a photo?
I have an indoor yucca about 8 weeks now. I haven’t watered it at all yet as my moisture meter says it’s still wettish, is this normal? I’m in Ireland so weather not too hot.
Have you felt the soil with your finger? Moisture meters can be off sometimes. If the soil is moist then it might be a good idea to repot it into a mix that dries more quickly.
My kids broke the parr where the leaves come out , so I am left with just the woody part so do I let it be or do I need to cut the wood to promote growth.
@@marywall6114 Hopefully I'm not too late, but put it in direct sunlight and water only once the soil is completely dry (2-3x/month). They DO NOT like a lot of water. I killed my first yucca by overwatering it. Yucca's are very forgiving but they need lots of time to recoup. It takes a lot of energy to maintain their image lols. Be patient & good luck!
Hello! My yucca has been very stressed. I live in michigan and my yucca grew off root like strings under the leaves. And I read somewhere that it produces it when it thinks it’s about to die.. is it true? also does the pot has to be small? Right now I have it on a tall pot... from what I watched I need to do a lot of changes regarding soil and where to put it in the room with more sunlight.
Thank you!! Thank you so much! I love your channel and your home. I have a Yucca and I need to repot it. When I do, I will take a hint from you and keep mines in a grow pot and place it inside a decorative pot. Thank you again. I love my Yucca and now I know how to best care for her because of you❤️
Idk if anyone will see this comment. But I bought a yucca cane a year ago and the last Texas snowstorm caused All the leaves to rot so I cut them off. I just have a trunk. It’s a little soft so Idk if I should cut down the trunk? It’s also growing pups around the base. At least two. So idk what to do to keep it living.
Thanks so much for this info! I have three cane yucca. The bottom trunk leaves has all turned brown and basically all fell off. I moved it outside to try to bump up the humidity and light but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Do you think it’s salvageable? Should I repot it? Thanks again for this video it really helped!
I'm not sure if I'm killing mine, but I bought mine like two weeks ago and watered it then though I haven't watered it since because it still seems moist. I do have it as an indoor plant since it's still pretty small maybe about 2 and a half feet in a southeast facing window. But I've noticed that the foliage in it is thinning out, should I be concerned, if so what should I do?? Please help, I really love it.
Hello! If the soil is still moist after being watered within 48 hrs I would repot it into something that dries more quickly. Also increasing the light will help a lot.
New Mexico sunshine and lack of humidity cooks them. They’re a yucca but they like moisture! Zone 7a yuccas here are much better adapted to the dry conditions. The one I have growing inside is doing well though. Just not outside!
Hi, I have a smaller yucca plant growing indoor in MN and it’s got some lighter color spotting on the newer leaves’ foliage. What does that mean and how can I treat it? It’s not brown or grey in color. It seems like they are green spots within the lighter color of the new leaf. Thanks in advance!
The best cane yucca video out there
Thank you!
Thank you for this info now I know why my leaves have been turning yellow, gonna easy up on the watering now. Thank you!!! 👏👏👍
I just picked one up from the store today. It was behind a bunch of palms neglected with cobwebs and discounted. It’s about 4’ tall with 4 variegated trunks. This plant looks amazing! Thanks for the video 👍
I've been looking everywhere online to see why the tips of my Yucca were turning brown and crispy, so thank you so much for mentioning that it just needs some humidity. It's definitely not a watering issue so that has to be it!
instaBlaster...
How did the humidity thing work? Did it fix your problem? Having something similar
I have to say that this winter my cane yucca stand outside for 4 consecutive days with temperature reaching down to -5c at night to 0c at day here in North Greece. It was snowing for a hole day and then the frost came! Not even a leaf has been damaged and I am really impressed on the grounds that this was selling as a "houseplant only" plant! I have grown it outside since 2 years now and it is doing great in a pot! I can't wait to transplanting it this march into a bigger pot.
I love this plant. I live in Louisiana and they’re common here. I had one at my old house and it was probably 20 feet tall. Very hardy too. Mine would take occasional frost no problem. I live in zone 9a, but we sometimes dip in the high teens every few years. They would burn at this temp, but survived. In northern Louisiana (8a/b) I’ve seen mature plants killed to the ground at 13 degrees, but they’d come back in spring from the roots.
oh they are very root hardy! I planted one in my garden when I was a kid and it would die back and return each spring here in zone 6... but was near a brick wall and the asphalt driveway.

No problem, Theresa!
We are a little late to the party, but we love are Yuccas, and were gifted two Yuccas and already have two babies growing on their own
I just bought mine at Walmart today. It's much smaller. Thanks for the info.
Me too =)

Theres one in the yard here, the corn plant in the yard got zapped by frost last year. I see them all the time here in ground.
Thanks for the video! I have a yucca indoors and it is sprouting from the bottom of the trunk. Should I remove these? Or let them grow freely?
Please do a episode spin off on how to re-pot without getting stabbed by your Plant :0
😂🤣 I usually wrap them in a towel, newspaper(10 years ago when I got a newspaper) or even cardboard.

What do you fertilize with
Looking too buy one !! Where can I get on from????

Hello, nice vidoe! I lost a yucca to root rot due to the heavy potting mix. This year I replaced a new yucca and pot it in cactus mix. But my ceramic pot only with one hole on the side of its bottom. Should I water until the water runs out every time, for this pot, it's so hard to let the water out for the side hole. Thank you!
Does the stem grow?
Really nice video i have a question i bought one recently and can see black tape thing on top of trunk.I can see that on yours as well.what is that for?and do i n3ed to take it off?
Razieal121 that’s not tape that’s putty. Where they cut the tree to propagate it they cover it with that putty to protect it from infection
Help me very much
I love my yucca plant, but is not happy. Just sadly cut more than 10 yellow leaves tonight, siting by south side by the window with direct sun, watering every 10-14. Please help me to save this beauty.
Hi! Will new leaves grow where you cut to propagate?
How this plant needs to be fertilized Is it possible to add iron to it once a month???
Hi, one question. When you cut it and put in new pot, do you water it same like 1 a week or you need to do it more often since it has no roots ?
I have one I've had for 8-9 years. It has three long arms on it branching out from the top. Do I cut those of to get it to grow like the one shown here?
How often do you need to repot them? I got my first Yucca today and it’s around 1 metre tall. Also it says to feed it once every 3 months.
Hi there! I have one of these and I’ve been noticing that the leaves are drooping kind of like mid-leaf (if that makes sense). I did notice some of your yucca’s leaves are doing the same thing. Is this normal? It’s growing a lot of new leaves and those are nice and upright/straight. Not sure what’s going on with those bent leaves though 🤔 Could I email you a photo?
Thanks.
Hey man i just got one as a first plant I NEED HELP 😭
What is that brown hard paste (?) that's put on top of the cane stalks? Why is it there?
It's like a waxy cap used when they cut the big plants down and section out the trunks to use for propagating.
@@TropicalPlantParty Thank you for replying! I assume you just leave it on for the life of the plant?
Please I need your help to save my yucca recently I have experienced yellowing on the leaves. I am so sad and don't know what to do 😪😔☹️
Our indoor yucca is shedding leaves
Dude i havent watered my yucca in 2 months lol just watered yesterday
I have an indoor yucca about 8 weeks now. I haven’t watered it at all yet as my moisture meter says it’s still wettish, is this normal? I’m in Ireland so weather not too hot.
Have you felt the soil with your finger? Moisture meters can be off sometimes. If the soil is moist then it might be a good idea to repot it into a mix that dries more quickly.
Tropical Plant Party yes, it feels moist alright. I’ll have to repot I think. Maybe if I repot with existing compost and add perlite?
I have a sad looking yucca with hanging leaves although they're green. What could be wrong? :/
Do I remove that Grey plastic on the stem ?
My kids broke the parr where the leaves come out , so I am left with just the woody part so do I let it be or do I need to cut the wood to promote growth.
I think you should just wait for it to grow new leaves
Great info, guess my plant needs more light, it’ll have to be moved
I like your dolphins
Thank you!
No problem! 😊👍
I killed mine, all that's left is the stump lmao :(
Happens! 🤣😂😅 they are easy to overwater, especially if they are from the big box stores and in soil that holds too much moisture..
pronounced you- ka
It's not yucka, it's yucca. [u], not [a].
Yuck-a
I just saved a Yucca plant from Walmart last month. I’m glad to said it’s doing great. I love this plant. 💜💜
they are awesome plants aren't they!? I'm glad you are liking yours!
I have neglected me yuca plant and its dieing. Please help
@@marywall6114 Hopefully I'm not too late, but put it in direct sunlight and water only once the soil is completely dry (2-3x/month). They DO NOT like a lot of water. I killed my first yucca by overwatering it. Yucca's are very forgiving but they need lots of time to recoup. It takes a lot of energy to maintain their image lols. Be patient & good luck!
@@Hhhbbb2456 thank you.
Hello! My yucca has been very stressed. I live in michigan and my yucca grew off root like strings under the leaves. And I read somewhere that it produces it when it thinks it’s about to die.. is it true? also does the pot has to be small? Right now I have it on a tall pot... from what I watched I need to do a lot of changes regarding soil and where to put it in the room with more sunlight.

Thank you!! Thank you so much! I love your channel and your home. I have a Yucca and I need to repot it. When I do, I will take a hint from you and keep mines in a grow pot and place it inside a decorative pot. Thank you again. I love my Yucca and now I know how to best care for her because of you❤️
Idk if anyone will see this comment. But I bought a yucca cane a year ago and the last Texas snowstorm caused All the leaves to rot so I cut them off. I just have a trunk. It’s a little soft so Idk if I should cut down the trunk? It’s also growing pups around the base. At least two. So idk what to do to keep it living.
I failed. I’m in a panic. I think mine is dying yellow brown wilting leaves. It’s dying.😞
I probagate around 45 one but most of them get spongy I don't know why although I irrigate all of them in same time with same amount
What’s that black stuff on the top of the cane?
What does it mean when the tips are black kind of like a burnt look, does that mean too much nutrients?
my yucca the trunk is as thick at a human torso or about as big as a elephant foot
Thanks so much for this info! I have three cane yucca. The bottom trunk leaves has all turned brown and basically all fell off. I moved it outside to try to bump up the humidity and light but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Do you think it’s salvageable? Should I repot it? Thanks again for this video it really helped!

Mine looking ugly....
Thank you ! Best video ! Was very helpful thank you.
I'm not sure if I'm killing mine, but I bought mine like two weeks ago and watered it then though I haven't watered it since because it still seems moist. I do have it as an indoor plant since it's still pretty small maybe about 2 and a half feet in a southeast facing window. But I've noticed that the foliage in it is thinning out, should I be concerned, if so what should I do?? Please help, I really love it.
Hello! If the soil is still moist after being watered within 48 hrs I would repot it into something that dries more quickly. Also increasing the light will help a lot.
@@TropicalPlantParty okay, will do thank you so much.
❤
New Mexico sunshine and lack of humidity cooks them. They’re a yucca but they like moisture! Zone 7a yuccas here are much better adapted to the dry conditions. The one I have growing inside is doing well though. Just not outside!
Hi, my yucca plant new growth is drying up and and it’s having black spots in its leaves. Is it because of humidity and lack of sunlight? :( thanks!
My daughter got me one for my bday.. I live in Colorado. Dry and cold. Not sure if I can keep this monster alive 😬
I bought a terra cotta pot with a hole in the bottom and a saucer for the bottom to repot it. Will this pot situation work?
Absolutely! Just as long as the bottom of the pot doesn't rest in water for too long. 😁
I've killed a couple of these, sadly. Nice vid.
Soon i will be bring in my 3 Yucca plant inside from backyard deck for the winter... any tips for the transition ? Thanks
oh you kilt that video baby ! Hit all the qs???
😆 thank you!
Hi, I have a smaller yucca plant growing indoor in MN and it’s got some lighter color spotting on the newer leaves’ foliage. What does that mean and how can I treat it? It’s not brown or grey in color. It seems like they are green spots within the lighter color of the new leaf. Thanks in advance!
