Hi,

Just bought one of these for my hallway and looking for some advice.
Haven't been able to get a great deal of info from the web so far other
than
it should be indoors during the winter and not watered much - then
outdoors
in the summer.

Can I use a closed-bottomed pot or should I
use a holed-pot with a plate underneath?

I think you should always drain the pot - guards against overwatering.

If it anything like our Yuccas (three, bought as tiny stumps and now
rampant) they are very hard to kill.

I have managed to kill one by extreme neglect, but the 'pup' from one of the
others is going strong.

In Suffolk, by the sea, the two biggest are filling oak half tubs on our
balcony - about 6 feet high and very bushy. They have more or less outgrown
the tubs, and are so large that repotting will be a nightmare!

The third is in a triangle of soil by the patio (this is the 'pup') and is
growing strongly.

They all live outside all the time through rain, hail, frost, drought. They
seem incredibly hardy.

If you keep it cool in subdued light and don't water or feed it much it may
well stay small.

Food, warmth, light, water and they grow huge.

I think you are fine to keep it inside all the time if you want.

HTH
