red yuccas not growing

14 years ago

Hello,

I had a few red yuccas put in about 3 months ago. They are very small, less than a foot tall. It seems like they haven't grown at all. Besides that they look green and healthy, get regular irrigation and all are in full sun. Does it just take a while for them to get established before growing?

Thank you!

Dave

Yeah, you planted them in probably just about the toughest time for a new plant to get established. Don't water them much and just let them settle in. They can survive on little to no water once established.
