Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ
How fast does the Yucca rostrata grow?
The Yucca rostrata is a slow grower. That is why even the smaller sizes are quite expensive. If you are looking for a plant that doesn't get too large, the Yucca rostrata is a good choice.
How do I plant a Yucca rostrata?
Planting a Yucca is not much different from planting any other plant. Try to keep the root ball as undamaged as possible. Ensure that the root ball is surrounded by good nutrient soil. We recommend Florentus Mediterranean potting soil for this purpose. Make a hole in the soil or potting mix, deep enough for the root ball. Firm the soil around the root ball and fill in until there is no trench around the root ball.
How do I grow a Rostrata from seeds?
The best way to sow Yucca is in a heated environment. This increases the chance of success. Fill a container with sowing and cutting soil; cactus soil is also possible, and place the seeds on the soil. You can sprinkle some grit or sand over them
Our Yuccas are well-rooted as indicated for the plant.
Because it has strong leaves, it can also look great on the balcony!
This type of Yucca does not grow much taller than 4 meters. It is an absolute eye-catcher in the garden and nearly indispensable in a garden with a tropical appearance.
The plant is extremely suitable for planting in the ground. However, it is also a good container plant. The leaves are gray in color. The plant retains its leaves in winter. The older leaves hang from the trunk with the tip pointing down, like a beautiful skirt.
It is best not to fertilize in winter and to give very little water, preferring it to be too dry than too wet.
Straight trunks are very difficult to find. When requested for straight trunks, we will select the most upright yucca for you.
