How often would you water a yucca plant. planted about 2 weeks ago?

Answer 1

Yucca plants grow naturally in the desert. If you plant them either in ground or in a pot, you should include half sand and half potting mix.Watering should be kept to a minimum.They do not like watering too much. Only water when top of soil is dry.So if you planted and watered, leave it for another week.Every two to three weeks thereafter. Good Luck!

Answer 2

It actually depends on where you are, what the weather's been, and what kind of yucca you have. People grow yuccas where I live quite successfully (middle Tennessee) where it is hot and humid with a pretty good amount of rainfall every year. If you're in a very hot and dry area like Arizona or southern Nevada, you might want to water a new one a couple of times a week. If you're in cooler or wetter climes, once a week, if it doesn't rain, is probably enough.

Answer 3

They require very little water. Water when soil becomes completely dry. Water slowly for a long period of time so that topsoil doesn't wash away & soil has time to become moist & accept water. It is much better to water for a long time & less frequent, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings. Don't 'overwater'.

Just sit back & enjoy, at least this plant, as you've chosen a pretty self-suffiecient one in the Yucca!! I need one of these down here in Texas. Sounds perfect for our conditions!

Answer 4

Basically let 3/4 of the soil completely dry out before rewatering.

Also NEVER leave it standing in a puddle of water or it will rot

Answer 5

Are you asking how frequently to water a plant, or how frequently to water seeds that have not sprouted yet? you do not ought to water seeds in any respect, until the soil starts getting dry. Seeds have not got any roots yet to take in water. Wait until the soil starts to dry, then water.

Answer 6

Every 2 weeks is probably a good rule of thumb to ascribe to. Thy don't need much water at all to survive.
