Yuccas are very fast-growing and reach the ceiling within a few years. The roots also show impressive growth and take root in a pot in just two to three years. For this reason, the popular houseplant should be repotted every two to three years - of course in fresh substrate to supply it with nutrients.
The yucca palm needs nutrient-rich, well-drained soil
Good drainage and well-drained soil is important
In terms of the type of substrate, the yucca has no special requirements - the soil should only be rich in nutrients, loose and well-drained. The easiest way is to use commercially available green plant soil and, if necessary, loosen it up with some sand or expanded clay (€19.73). Much more important is the drainage, which ensures that excess irrigation water is drained off quickly. The yucca does not like moisture and especially waterlogging at all. On the other hand, it is completely unnecessary to buy special palm soil - despite all the similarities, the yucca is not a type of palm tree.
tips
Instead of planting the yucca in soil, you can grow it hydroponically. This has the advantage that there are no mold spores or other microorganisms in the substrate. Hydroponic plants are also easier to care for.
