The plant will live in low light, but you'll need to make sure you apply proper watering and maintenance techniques. The spineless yucca is a member of the lily family and makes its home in Guatemala and southeast Mexico. As you may interpret from the southern Mexican home, the plant prefers sunshine and will do best in an east, west or south-facing window.In its native environment, spineless yucca eventually mature at 30 feet tall.

The "How To" of Yucca Care Indoors - WateringIn bright or high light settings, allow the top 1/4 or 1/3 of soil to dry out before watering well. In low-light settings indoors, allow 3/4 of the soil to dry down between waterings. I recommend subirrigation to water house plants if possible.

When you water DO NOT let the plant sit in a puddle or saucer of water that can accumulate in the bottom of the container. In low light areas this extra water may encourage rotting. Signs of OverwateringOverwatering will show up as foliage collapse or cane rotting, especially at the soil line.

Spineless yucca is very similar in growing and care to Dracaenas. You'll find this yucca typically grown as either a bush or with multiple canes. Bush forms are grown from tips with three plants per pot.

Multiple cane plants typically have three or four canes of different heights in a container. In the "wild" Yucca elephantipes comes robed with dark green leaves, indoors the foliage may have a light or pale green color. The leaves are sword shaped and stiff with lengths of 12 to 18 inches long and 1 inch to 1-1/4 inches wide.

Yucca Cane IndoorsMost yucca production indoors is in 10, 14 and 17-inch pots with plants commonly running from 36 inches to 8 feet in height. Seldom do you find plants in containers larger than 17 inch pots. You will find at times character stumps which can provide some very unusual looks.

Many indoor tropical house plants are not real happy with big temperature changes although they will still work at cleaning the air. One of the yucca's best features is its ability to handle variable temperature ranges. With good air movement or circulation these plants can take temperatures in the 90s to a low in the upper 30s.

This makes the spineless yucca an excellent choice for areas that can have a variety of temperature ranges such as a lobby or home entry. It is also a good selection for plant groupings with cactus or when you want to achieve that Southwestern look. Pest On YuccaAnother plus, is that it's relatively free from insect problems.

This is one plant that spider mites don't like. At times you may find scale or mealybugs, but generally, the plants are insect free. When insects are detected, spray with an approved insecticide.

Spineless yucca probably finds more use when designing around a desert-type theme or southwest style. Due to its versatility, reliability and sturdiness it does find its way into other indoor plantcapes. When buying yucca plants look for ones that are well rooted and don't have any "cane wobble" and remember DO NOT overwater this plant or allow it to sit in water.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
