- Requires full sun. A lack of sunlight can cause spindly foliage growth and decreased flowering.
- The sharp and spiny nature of some yuccas is usually enough to steer animals (and people) away. However, if they are ingested, they can be moderately toxic to cats, dogs, and humans.
- Start seeds indoors at any time, or outdoors in spring. To start hardy varieties outside, spring temperatures should be 55 to 65°F. Wait until temperatures are 66 to 75°F for more tender varieties.
- Soak seeds for 24 hours prior to planting to help with germination, or rub with sand paper to scar the surface. Plant at a depth of one to two seed lengths. Keep the seeds moderately moist, and you should begin to see signs of germination in about 3 to 4 weeks. Transplant the seedlings at about 8 weeks into bigger pots or permanent location. See more about growing from offsets below, under Propagation.
- Yucca growth is quite slow and variable, especially if grown from seed. It may take a few years until they flower.
- Yuccas aren’t particular about the type of soil they live in, other than it must be well-draining to avoid rot.
