You don't want the plant to grow "fast". If Yucca don't receive enough
light, the new growth will be weak long slender stems with pale leaves and
very susceptible to disease.

An east facing window is not as bright as you assume. You may want to check
with a light meter to see for yourself.

My Yucca has grown over a foot in the last year in a very bright eastern
window. Since this is the first I have eer had I am wondering now based on
your comments Ceroeoid - would it grow faster in a southern window? I
don't
plan on moving because there are other plants that I need to have in the
south window but just curious?

If you bought a Yucca to be grown as an indoor plant, you probably have
Yucca elephantipes.

The major problem with growing this plant is giving it enough light,
especially in the winter. A south or southwestern exposure is necessary.

In the winter, watering it thoroughly once a month is sufficient. It is
a
xerophytic plant, so it requires far less water than most "house
plants".

Hi
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?
Thank you
