We’ve brought our big potted yucca cane inside for the winter the last two years. So it lives in the basement with little light from about December to late March. Yucca cane plants can survive in a variety of light conditions, which the yucca plant’s indoor care a breeze. Notice, however, that I said survive, not thrive.

Yuccas are not particular about their soil as long as it’s of the well-draining variety. Remember, since they do well with a bit of neglect and don’t like being over-watered, well-draining soil is key. A cactus or succulent soil is nice, but in bigger pots, that route can get expensive. “Yucca” itself is a genus in the Asparagaceae family, subfamily Agavoideae.

See how the tufts of leaves are growing as side shoots at the stem top? New leaves emerged from top and side growth points. Place yucca plants anywhere it fits and you like it. Yucca does well in entries, near brightly lit window walls, or even a less well lit nook.
