Lighting
Yucca Leaved Beschorneria thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window.

Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure.
