In a domestic environment<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_environment>, the plant has average water requirements, and little maintenance is needed other than the removal of dead leaves when the shrub nears its ultimate height.[3] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_gloriosa#cite_note-Cae-2> The plant has been seen to suffer leaf damage at temperatures below 4 °C (40°F).
