Summary
The Yucca is an easy-going, trendy houseplant that was popular in '80s and isn't going out of fashion anytime soon! This plant is native to Mexico and so loves dry environments and direct sun - don't slack on the watering schedule though, this will keep brown spots at bay. This plant is perfect for Conservatories (as long as they don't get too cold), or south-facing spots which will maximise their chance at catching sun rays. Beware of steamy bathrooms! This slow-grower is an easy-going cult favourite which we are sure you will love, though it is toxic if ingested so keep away from children and pets.
