Yucca Plant Care Q&A
Q: Do yucca plants need misting?
A: No, yucca plants are quite drought-tolerant and do not need misting. They grow best with moderate humidity and thrive in dry indoor temperature conditions.
Q: Can I grow a yucca plant indoors?
A: Yes! Yucca plants are common indoor plants because they are easy to care for and adaptable. Plants indoors need bright, indirect light, and they should be planted in yucca in a loose, well-draining soil mix.
Q: Why are my yucca’s lower leaves turning yellow?
A: Yellowing lower leaves is natural as the plant is growing, but excessive yellowing could indicate overwatering. Yucca plants prefer dry soil, so water your yucca only when necessary. Also, check if the bottom of the pot has proper drainage holes.
