Yucca elephantipes - Palm lily - Indoor palm

The Yucca Elephantipes is a sturdy indoor palm that originates from Central America. Here, this palm species is widely cultivated in large nurseries deep in the rainforests. The Yucca owes its name to its heavy rhizomes, which are reminiscent of elephant feet. The leaves of the Yucca Elephantipes are thick and fleshy with a sharp, finely serrated edge. The lower leaves of the Yucca die off naturally as the plant grows. These must be carefully removed to maintain a neat appearance.
