Yucca angustissima aka Narrow Leaf Yucca

Narrow Leaf Yucca’s native range is the Americas and Caribbean.

Narrow Leaf Yucca does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

When growing the Narrow Leaf Yucca, it's important to use a potting soil that is well-draining and does not retain excessive moisture. An optimal soil mix should contain a high proportion of perlite or vermiculite for good drainage and some organic matter for nourishment. Simply add a few scoops of perlite to regular cactus soil to achieve this.

To ensure optimal growth, the Narrow Leaf Yucca prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Narrow Leaf Yucca plants thrive in dry environments, however, if you choose to provide extra humidity or mist your plant, the lingering water on the leaves can create an ideal environment for certain types of harmful fungi.

The Narrow Leaf Yucca grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.
