Yucca elephantipes, also known as the spineless yucca or stick yucca, is a versatile and hardy plant. It's a large, upright succulent shrub or small tree with smooth, sword-shaped leaves that grow in a spiral rosette. Native to Central America, it thrives in hot, arid climates but is also a popular indoor plant due to its low maintenance needs.
Outdoors, it can grow up to 30 feet tall, while indoors, it usually stays around 5 feet. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight and well-draining soil. The plant is drought-tolerant and only needs watering when the topsoil is dry. While it rarely flowers indoors, mature outdoor plants can produce clusters of creamy-white flowers in summer.
