Yucca elephantipes
spineless yucca
These bold, striking plants with their sword-like long green leaves growing out of a trunk never fail to impress. They are one of the few houseplants that really do love the sun, so ideal as that stand-alone specimen for the conservatory. Grown for its foliage and shape, it can have white bell-shaped, scented flowers but this is rare.

How to care for Yucca elephantipes:
Place in a bright, sunny spot, though it will tolerate some light shade. Keep indoor temperatures above 7°C (45°F), as it doesn’t like cold drafts. Water more frequently during the warmer months, letting the top of the soil dry slightly between waterings, and cut back on water over winter to avoid soggy roots.
The plant could be placed outside during the summer in milder, sheltered areas.
