How to Grow Yucca in a Pot

Whether for transplanting to an outdoor garden or into a larger pot for indoor enjoyment, yucca plants may begin their lives inside under the right circumstances. Yucca grows large with enough space. The versatile plant is durable and does well even in poor soil. The plant survives a variety of weather changes, making it good for locations with a range of temperatures each season. For the person without the space for these sturdy plants, grow them in pots indoors.
