🌿 Yucca Silver Plant (Yucca elephantipes ‘Silver Star’ or similar cultivar)
The Yucca Silver is a striking, architectural plant known for its sword-like leaves with silver-gray or blue-green tones, sometimes edged in creamy white. With its upright growth habit and drought-tolerant nature, this plant brings a modern, desert-chic aesthetic to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Tough and resilient, it’s perfect for plant lovers who want bold style with minimal effort.

🔆 Light Requirements

Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight to full sun.
Tolerates: Partial shade indoors, but color is best with more light.
Avoid: Very low-light rooms — growth may slow, and leaves may lose vibrancy.

💧 Watering Guidelines

When to Water: Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.
Frequency: Water every 2–3 weeks, depending on light and temperature.
Important: Yucca is very drought-tolerant — overwatering is the most common issue. Always ensure excellent drainage.

🌾 Soil & Potting

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add sand or perlite for extra drainage.
Pot: A sturdy pot with good drainage holes is essential. Yucca has a thick, woody base and can become top-heavy.

🌱 Fertilization

Feed: Once a month during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer.
Avoid: Fertilizing in winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune: Remove any yellowing or dried leaves at the base.
Trimming: You can cut the top off a tall plant to encourage branching (Yucca responds well to pruning).
Cleaning: Wipe the leaves gently to remove dust.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

Humidity: Adapts well to normal indoor humidity. No misting needed.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–30°C (64–86°F). Avoid prolonged cold or frost (below 10°C/50°F).
