Yucca Elephatipes - Spineless Yucca
ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
We love this exotic looking houseplant - bring a totally tropical feeling to your home with this lovely plant! With spiked green, sword-shaped leaves springing up from the palm-like trunk, this narrow houseplant makes a striking statement and has a very sculptural look that's fits easily in any corner of the home.
This houseplant is a sun lover, so it needs somewhere where it can soak up the rays - a south-facing window would be ideal so it can lap up the light. It’s unusual among houseplants - a lot of them can’t take direct sun but this one really loves basking in direct light.
Yucca Elphatipes gets its name from its trunk - which, over time, thickens to resemble an elephant’s foot! We like this striking houseplant in a basket for a stylish magazine kind of look.
Most people know the Yucca plant - but what really makes it outstanding is the way you style it - think carefully about your planter or you can even use a basket. We do a great selection of pots that can add that special touch to your plant.
What a wonderful gift this would make! We’ll add in a free, handwritten card if you tell us your gift message - just leave a note of it at the basket stage of the checkout and we’ll arrange the rest.
No giveaway paperwork either!

Happy Houseplants delivers live houseplants across the UK with fast, carbon-neutral tracked service.
At Happy Houseplants, we ship all live plants via DPD’s 24-hour tracked carbon-neutral service. Delivery usually takes 7–10 working days, but in most cases your plants will arrive much sooner. You can read more about delivery here.
We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
