Yucca “Maya Tree” — Ø19 cm — H80 cm
☀️ Sun / Partial shade • 🌿 Graphic foliage • 💧 Light watering • 🏙️ Structuring indoor plant
The Yucca “Maya Tree”, or Yucca elephantipes, is an iconic indoor plant native to the dry regions of Mexico and Guatemala. Recognizable by its thick stem resembling a trunk and its long sword-shaped leaves, it brings an exotic and architectural charm to any urban space.
Easy to care for and resilient, it thrives in light while requiring little attention. Perfect for active city dwellers, it brings both structure, elegance, and tropical serenity to a modern interior.
Exposure & location
The Yucca elephantipes enjoys bright places, bathed in soft sun or partial shade. It fits well in a bright living room, an office, or an entrance filled with natural light.
- Exposure: sun to partial shade, bright indirect light ideal.
- Ideal: bright room, near a bay window or a glass roof.
- Temperature: 18–28 °C, avoid cold drafts.
- Substrate: well-drained, slightly sandy or based on green plant potting soil.
Verdeia tip: let the substrate dry almost completely between waterings to mimic its original arid environment.
Watering & care
- Watering: light; water every 8 to 10 days in summer, more spaced in winter.
- Drainage: essential; Yucca dislikes excess water.
- Fertilizer: in spring and summer, once every 6 to 8 weeks with a balanced fertilizer.
- Pruning: remove dry leaves at the base of the trunk to keep a clean silhouette.
- Repotting: every 2 to 3 years in a pot with good drainage.
The less you water it, the happier it is! Yucca prefers slight water shortage to excess moisture.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
With its sculptural look and graphic foliage, the Yucca “Maya Tree” adds depth and a strong presence in contemporary interiors. It matches well with both minimalist decor and bohemian or tropical styles.
- To combine with: Sansevieria, Dracaena, or Monstera for a structured and harmonious set.
- Ideal pot: terracotta or matte ceramic in sand, gray, or terracotta tones.
- Ambiance: perfect for a bright living room, an urban veranda, or a sunny relaxation corner.
Its rigid foliage and slender silhouette make it an excellent corner plant to add height to a room.
Verdeia tips
- Turn the pot every month so that light reaches all sides evenly.
- Avoid overwatering: an overwatered Yucca is often unrecoverable.
- Clean the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust.
- In winter, keep it near a bright window and drastically reduce watering.
- This air-purifying plant improves air quality while bringing a natural exotic touch.
Each plant is unique: the shape, density, and shades of the foliage vary according to light and season.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
