- Reduce watering in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.
- Avoid overwatering and ensure that the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot.
- Pruning:
- Pruning is minimal. Remove any dead or damaged leaves at the base of the rosette using sharp, sterile scissors or pruning shears.
- Remove spent flower stalks after flowering to keep the plant looking tidy.
- Fertilizing:
- Fertilize lightly during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a cactus-specific fertilizer.
- Apply fertilizer once or twice in spring and summer.
- Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.
- Pest and Disease Control:
- Yucca elegans is generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract pests like mealybugs or scale insects.
- Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
- Ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases and rot.
