Light and Temperature Requirements – Yucca cane plant thrives on bright indirect light. If the plant is exposed to direct light, the leaves can turn yellow. Furthermore, Yucca cane can grow in lower light as well. However, the growth will be slow.

Water Requirements – We recommend watering your Yucca cane plant when the top 50% to 75% of the soil dries up. Water until the liquid pours out the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot. Furthermore, discard any excess water accumulated in the pot.
Food Requirements – Apply liquid fertilizer once every month during spring and summer. However, never give too much fertilizer which will cause fertilizer burn in the Yucca cane plant.
