Growth of yucca in house conditions directly depends on intensity of lighting. It is the best of all to place it at the southern window, and to take out on balcony or in garden in the summer. However it is necessary to remember that the surplus of sunlight is harmful to plant, in hot weather yucca follows slightly pritenyat.
Location and temperature
Jukka it is unpretentious, its contents requires the light room. Yellowing of leaves and their pallor most often is explained by lack of lighting. The optimum duration of daylight hours is about 16 hours, and regardless of season. In cold season it is better to highlight yucca daylight lamps.
Temperature is necessary moderated — from 15 to 25 wasps in the summer, recommend to provide to yucca cool contents at +3-5os in the winter, but in the conditions of the room she will not die. From early autumn it is important to protect plant from drafts which can become the emergence reason on stalk and leaves of soft sites.
Sharp drops of temperature and humidity and also change of conditions of keeping, for example, when moving, can lead to spalling of bark and dropping leaves. However at further correct contents it will not interfere with normal growth of plant. If from bark the rotting smell proceeds, leaves have hung and became soft, means temperature condition was broken and it is urgently necessary to carry out recovery procedures. In this case it is necessary to make change in fresh soil, to remove the damaged parts of root, to dry cuts and to process them wood charcoal.
Watering and fertilizing
In the summer the plant is watered it is abundant, and in the winter — it is moderate. At the same time it is better to allow easy drying of the soil, than overwetting, its yucca badly transfers, often it perishes because of dampness and rotting of roots. During cold season the waterings should be reduced, it is necessary to give to dry out to the soil in pot. However it should not be abused, because of lack of moisture the plant loses decorative effect - leaves become brown and begin to dry up. The yucca does not need constant spraying, it well transfers dry air, however the weekly warm shower is very useful to plant. If change is done regularly, it will not be necessary for young copies of fertilizer, but adults (6-7 years are more senior) it is necessary to feed up during the period from April to August of times in 3-4 weeks soluble mineral or organic medicines for houseplants.
Change and reproduction
Young copies are replaced once in 2 years, by adults — time in 3-4 years. Substrate is prepared from the sheet and cespitose earth with sand addition. The yucca is made multiple copies offsprings who are formed at the trunk basis and also stem shanks. For the healthy and strongly extended plants carry out rooting of top, it gives the chance to receive the implanted shank and stump on which kidneys will be dismissed subsequently.
