    • Light: Prefers full sun for the most vibrant leaf color and optimal growth. It can tolerate light shade, but flowering and foliage color may be less pronounced in shadier conditions.

    • Water: Drought-tolerant once established. Water the plant deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Ensure the soil drains well, as yuccas are prone to root rot in waterlogged conditions.

    • Humidity: Prefers dry conditions and is ideal for low humidity environments. It does not thrive in humid conditions and requires excellent drainage to thrive.

    • Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 5-10. 'Bright Edge' tolerates both heat and cold, but protection from frost is necessary in colder climates. It thrives in hot, sunny areas.

    • Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy, or rocky soil. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, but it should never sit in heavy, water-retaining soils, as this can lead to root rot.

    • Fertilizer: Fertilizing is not usually necessary, as yuccas are adapted to nutrient-poor soils. However, if desired, use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth.

    • Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. Be cautious when handling the plant, as the leaves are sharp.

    • Pet Safety: Non-toxic to pets. 'Bright Edge' is safe for both cats and dogs, making it a good choice for pet-friendly gardens. However, the sharp leaves can be hazardous, so it's best to keep the plant in an area where pets won’t frequently come into contact with it.
