How often do I need to water Yucca seedlings?

[djseaquist]

I recently germinated some Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) seeds. It supposed to produce one of the best Yucca fruits, tasting between a sweet potato and banana when roasted.

However, I don't how often I need to water my seedlings because this Yucca is known to be VERY drought tolerance. I'm afraid I might kill them by overwatering them.

Advice?



Here's a picture of the fruit from Raindance Seeds.

never germinated any yucca seeds, but i've germinated lots of agave seeds and tons of aloe seeds.  the medium i generally use has maybe 40% pumice so it drains really well.  even when it rains here in winter, which is the opposite of when these seedlings want rain, i haven't had an issue with rot.

 I didn't start them from seed, but I have 4 small Yucca baccatas I planted in Arizona where we get about 6" of rain per year. I've been experimenting giving one of them supplemental water once a month, and it is growing slightly faster than the rest. Otherwise, they're all surviving fine on the little rain they get.

Batatas are indigenous to a lot of Texas. They grow with absolutely no care. We've recently had droughts with almost no rain for 3 years and they thrive. They are tough! D
