Since all our yucca liners come from yucca tissue culture, they experience robust growth once transplanted into a growing container. Grown in 50% shade, our yucca young plants can be acclimated by exposing them to partial shade for a week before planting in full sun. While acclimation isn't strictly necessary, it can be beneficial depending on the season and the geographic area where the yucca plants will be grown.
Yucca plants naturally thrive in sandy soils, so we recommend a high-porosity mix with a pH between 6.0 and 6.5. Ensure the plants are allowed to dry fully between irrigations, as they are prone to root rot if overwatered.
Our 72-count yucca liners can be planted one per pot, fitting well in containers from 1 to 3 gallons. Here in South Texas, yucca plant propagation typically takes about 30 weeks for 1-gallon containers and 54 weeks for 3-gallon containers.
Healthy yucca plants are rarely affected by pests. We suggest a balanced slow-release fertilizer applied at a medium rate. However, under certain conditions, yucca plants may be susceptible to mites or rusts if pest pressure or plant health fluctuates.
