The Yucca Cane is an elegant, architectural houseplant known for its long, sword-like green leaves that grow in a rosette atop thick, cane-like stems. Its stems can be either single or branching, resembling a small tree with a tropical flair, and its glossy leaves have pointed tips, giving the plant a striking sculptural quality. It can produce clusters of fragrant white flowers under ideal conditions, though this is rare indoors. Yucca Cane is highly adaptable, drought-tolerant, and adds a dramatic vertical accent to any indoor space.
