Origin
The Yucca thompsoniana, also known as the Thompson's Yucca, is native to the southern regions of North America and is particularly abundant in the state of Texas and parts of Mexico. The plant enjoys a warm and dry climate, which is typical for the areas where the species naturally occurs.

Characteristics
The Yucca thompsoniana is an evergreen succulent with a distinctive appearance due to its long, sharp leaves and characteristic rosette growth pattern. The plant has a slow growth rate and can ultimately reach a height of about 5 meters. The Yucca thompsoniana produces large, striking flowers that are white in colour and have a bell-shaped appearance.

Care
For the care of the Yucca thompsoniana, it is important to ensure that the plant gets sufficient sunlight, as this is essential for the plant's growth and flowering. A well-drained soil is also a must to prevent root rot. Although this plant is hardy, it will perform best in areas with higher temperatures and less moisture. Regular watering during dry periods and minimising watering during moist periods will contribute to the plant's optimal health.
