About this plant
Yucca (Yucca elephantipes, now often listed as Yucca gigantea) is the spineless yucca from Mexico and Central America. It has a thick, woody trunk topped with rosettes of long, sword-shaped, glossy green leaves, giving a clean, architectural look.
It is very well suited to Dubai. Indoors it needs a bright spot near a window and will take some direct sun; in a dark corner it leans and the leaves weaken. It handles dry AC air and missed waterings easily. Outdoors it grows in full sun or part shade on patios and in gardens, and is heat tolerant once settled. Overwatering is the main risk, as the trunk can rot.
It works well in bright living rooms, offices, entrances and patios. We offer it as a 90 cm floor plant.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Yucca healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright light with some direct sun indoors; full sun to part shade outdoors. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 10 to 14 days indoors when the top half of the soil is dry; every 4 to 6 days outdoors in summer. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: free-draining potting mix with sand or perlite. Feeding: balanced liquid feed monthly from March to September. Common mistake: watering too often, which softens and rots the trunk. Where it works: bright living rooms, offices, entrances and patios.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats and dogs (saponins; can cause vomiting).

Yucca FAQs
Can a Yucca grow outdoors in Dubai?
Yes. It is heat tolerant and grows in full sun or part shade once settled. Water young plants regularly in summer.
How often should I water it indoors?
About every 10 to 14 days, when the top half of the soil is dry. Less in winter.
Is it toxic to pets?
Yes. The ASPCA lists yucca as toxic to cats and dogs because of saponins, which can cause vomiting.
Why are the leaves going yellow?
Older lower leaves yellow naturally, but many yellow leaves usually mean overwatering or too little light.
