1. Basic Identification
Common Name: Yucca Cane Plant
Botanical Name: Yucca gigantea
Former Name: Yucca elephantipes
Plant Type: Indoor tree (houseplant)
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0142
Alternative Names:
Spineless Yucca
Yucca elephantipes
Yucca guatemalensis
Arabic: يوغا
2. Taxonomy & Classification
Order: Asparagales
Family: Asparagaceae
Subfamily: Agavoideae
Genus: Yucca
3. Origin & Distribution
Yucca gigantea is native to the dry regions of Mexico and Central America, particularly in Guatemala and neighboring states of Mexico. It has been introduced as an ornamental and indoor plant worldwide, including in Iran, southern Europe, Asia, and North America. In cultivation it thrives in warm, arid to semi-arid climates.
4. Visual Characteristics
This species features one or more upright, cane-like stems topped with rosettes of stiff, sword-shaped leaves. Leaves are bright to deep green, up to 1–1.5 m long and 5–8 cm wide, with smooth margins. In summer it produces large, branched panicles bearing numerous pendulous, bell-shaped, creamy white flowers.
5. Size & Dimensions
Indoors, Yucca cane typically reaches 1.8–3 m (6–10 ft) in height with a trunk diameter of 10–15 cm (4–6 in). Leaves measure 0.5–1 m (1.5–3 ft) in length. Flower panicles may extend 0.5–1 m (1.5–3 ft) above the foliage.
6. Light Requirements
Requires bright light and tolerates full sun to very bright indirect light. For best growth, provide at least 6 hours of direct or strongly filtered sunlight daily. It will survive in moderate light but may become leggy.
7. Watering Needs
A drought-tolerant plant that prefers its soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly and allow the top 5–7 cm (2–3 in) of soil to dry before irrigating again. Reduce watering in autumn and winter.
8. Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining, sandy or gritty potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend. A mix of regular potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite (1:1:1) ensures good drainage. The soil pH should be neutral to slightly alkaline (6.5–7.5).
9. Temperature & Humidity
Optimal temperatures range from 18–29 °C (65–85 °F). It tolerates brief drops to 0 °C (32 °F) but should be protected from frost. Average indoor humidity is sufficient; it does not require high humidity.
10. Fertilization
Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) at half strength every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Do not fertilize in autumn and winter.
11. Maintenance & Care Level
Low maintenance. Remove dead or yellowing leaves at the base to improve appearance. Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust. Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound.
12. Growth & Propagation
Slow-growing; propagates readily by separating basal offsets (pups) or by stem cuttings. Allow cut ends to callus for several days before planting in a well-draining mix. Keep lightly moist until roots develop.
13. Common Problems
Overwatering can lead to root rot. Brown leaf tips indicate dry air, underwatering, or fluoride sensitivity. Cold damage causes leaf browning. Pests include scale insects, spider mites, and mealybugs; treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
14. Benefits & Uses
An architectural accent plant ideal for modern interiors, offices, and reception areas. It adds vertical structure and tropical flair, tolerates neglect, and may improve indoor air quality by filtering airborne toxins.
15. Toxicity & Safety
All parts contain saponins and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and dermatitis if ingested by pets or humans. Leaves have stiff, sharp tips that can puncture skin—handle with gloves.
