Yucca is a genus of more than 40 perennial plants, shrubs, and trees, but only a few are grown as houseplants under the label "yucca plant." Sometimes confused with the similar-looking Dracaena genus, yuccas are interesting and slow-growing houseplants that have the added benefit of being extremely drought tolerant. If you kill a yucca, it’s probably due to overwatering. Over time, most species of yucca will grow into room-devouring monsters, but this takes such a long time that you’ll get many years of durable service as a houseplant before it overwhelms the space. Yuccas are relatively slow-growing plants that require repotting only every two or three years.
