The Yucca Elephantipes is a large indoor palm that originates from Central America. This species of palm is often cultivated in large nurseries deep in the rainforest. The Yucca gets its name from its heavy rhizome, which resembles elephant feet. The leaf of the Yucca Elephantipes is thick and fleshy with a sharp, finely serrated edge. The lower leaves of the Yucca naturally die off as the houseplant grows. These should be carefully removed to maintain a tidy appearance.

Care
The Yucca is one of the easiest houseplants available, as it does not require much water. It is sufficient to water the plant once every two weeks. It is very important that no water remains at the bottom of the pot, as this can cause the roots to rot. The Yucca prefers a bright location but should not be placed in direct sunlight, as this can lead to discoloration of the leaves. Every 2-3 months, the Yucca needs adequate nutrients to keep its leaves looking vibrant green. Please note that the plant is toxic to both humans and animals.
