Default Yucca Plant

The Yucca commonly grown as an indoor plant, Yucca elephantipes, is native
to southern Mexico to Central America and is not at all a cold hardy
species.

Yucca are best considered to be xerophytic plants. They are adapted to dry
conditions but are not at all succulent.

I recently bought a yucca plant. I dont know if i am watering it too
much. Does anyone know how often you should water indoor plants at
this time of year?


Yucca is a hardy succulent. You can water it whenever you want. It
will tolerate very infrequent watering like in the desert southwest and
thrive with frequent watering like in the rainy northeast. If you don't
want it to grow much, then you can water about once a month. Make sure
that the soil dries out between waterings.
