Yucca plants thrive in full sun and prefer well-draining, sandy soil. They are drought-tolerant once established and require minimal watering, especially in winter. Overwatering can lead to root rot. They are generally low-maintenance and do not require frequent fertilization. Protect from heavy frost in colder climates.
