I just planted a new Yucca rostrata. I picked it up for $15.00 from a friend in Victoria. He had another one and I should have got that one to. 😀

That is very cool 😀 I think you will be very happy with it. That is also a very good price 😯

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

What is the growth rate like on a yucca rostrata. What helps it grow quicker? Heat, water, fertilizer and what kind? :scratch:
It seems to be growing quickly with new leaves coming out already. It did not mind being transplanted that is for sure. 😯
I put it in a garden with some succelants, chamaerops humilis and a brahea armata. :sunny:

I think where you have it is a great spot! Give it lots of sun, good draining soil. I don't think you have to give it much fertilizer, it should do good on its own. Give it water untill it starts growing good then just let it be 😀
