Introducing the Yucca queretaroensis which is a striking succulent plant native to the Mexican states of Queretaro and Guanajuato. This yucca species is a visually appealing addition to gardens and landscapes due to its unique characteristics. It is commonly referred to as the Queretaro Yucca due to its origin in the region of Queretaro, Mexico.


A single-stemmed upright plant with a thick trunk that grows to be 12 feet tall and has old leaves lying flat in a neat skirt.

The trunks' tops display bright green, narrow, square, 24-inch long, rounded leaves, less than 1/8 inch wide, and radiating outwards like a rounded head of hair.

The leaves have a distinctive powdery coating that adds to the plant's ornamental appeal.

The flowers of Yucca queretaroensis bloom in summer with tall branching flower spikes that can reach up to 8 feet in height.

The flowers are bell-shaped and creamy white, creating a striking contrast against the plant's blue-green foliage. The blooms are fragrant and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the plant's ecological value in the garden. 

Propagation of Yucca queretaroensis is commonly done through seeds or offsets. Seeds can be collected from mature seed pods and sown in well-draining soil. The plant can also produce offsets, or "pups," around the base, which can be carefully separated and replanted to propagate new plants. Yucca queretaroensis is a slow-growing plant, so patience is key when waiting for new plants to establish and grow. 

Watering Needs 

The Yucca queretaroensis has specific watering needs to thrive. It is adapted to arid conditions, so it's essential not to overwater it. When watering your Yucca queretaroensis, make sure to allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which can harm the plant. It's generally better to underwater than overwater Yucca queretaroensis to prevent issues with its health. 

To determine when to water your Yucca queretaroensis, you can check the soil moisture level by inserting your finger into the soil. If the top few inches of the soil are dry, it's usually a good time to water.  

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you can water more frequently, but in the dormant season of fall and winter, reduce watering to mimic its natural conditions. Additionally, using well-draining soil can help prevent waterlogging and ensure the roots have the right balance of moisture and air. 

When watering your Yucca queretaroensis, watering deeply but infrequently is essential. This encourages the plant's roots to grow deeper into the soil, making it more resilient to drought conditions. Remember that Yucca queretaroensis is drought-tolerant, so it's better to err on the side of underwatering than overwatering. By following these watering guidelines and understanding the plant's natural habitat, you can help your Yucca queretaroensis thrive and stay healthy. 

Light Requirements

When grown indoors, it's essential to place your Yucca queretaroensis in a spot where it can receive bright, indirect sunlight. This plant thrives in well-lit areas but should be protected from direct sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day. Placing it near a window that receives ample sunlight can help ensure it gets the light it needs to flourish indoors. 

For outdoor cultivation, Yucca queretaroensis prefers full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours a day. It's best to position the plant in a location where it can receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. This ensures that the plant gets the necessary light for photosynthesis and overall health. In regions with hot climates, providing some afternoon shade can help protect the plant from intense sunlight and heat stress. By understanding the light needs of Yucca queretaroensis, both indoors and outdoors, you can create an environment that promotes its growth and vitality.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Yucca queretaroensis prefers sandy, well-drained soil, as excess moisture can promote root and stem rot. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil, opens in a new tabspecialized succulent potting soil, opens in a new tab that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mixown potting mix, opens in a new tab by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

In terms of fertilizer, Yucca queretaroensis generally does not require frequent fertilization. During the growing season in spring, you can fertilize your plant with a balanced (5-10-5), NPK fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant. Fertilize your Yucca queretaroensis sparingly to provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth without causing nutrient build-up in the soil. Additionally, using a slow-release fertilizer can help provide a steady nutrient supply over an extended period. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, Yucca queretaroensis thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 60-80°F. It's essential to avoid sudden temperature fluctuations and drafts, as these can stress the plant. Maintaining moderate humidity levels around 30-50% can also benefit the plant, especially in drier indoor environments. Using a humidifier or placing a pebble tray filled with water near the plant can help increase humidity levels. 

For outdoor cultivation, Yucca plant is well-suited for hardiness zones 9-11, where temperatures remain above freezing. This plant can tolerate a wide range of temperatures but prefers warm conditions. In outdoor settings, it's important to protect the plant from frost and freezing temperatures, as these can damage or kill the plant. Additionally, Yucca queretaroensis thrives in arid to semi-arid climates with low to moderate humidity levels. Adequate air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues, especially in more humid environments. 

Final Thoughts 

Overall, the Yucca queretaroensis is a stunning plant known for its striking appearance with long, sword-shaped leaves and tall, architectural growth. When caring for Yucca queretaroensis, it's essential to provide well-draining soil, ample sunlight, and infrequent watering to prevent issues like root rot. Regularly inspecting for pests like spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects can help maintain the plant's health. With proper care and attention to its needs, Yucca queretaroensis can thrive and bring a touch of desert beauty to any space.

Review from an "actual" tall person who doesn't weigh 400 pounds.
Color: Black
I recommend this chair. Firstly, I looked at least dozens of chairs and nearly every review in trying to select a chair. I didn't want to spend $200. It's confusing because everyone's idea of perfect is of course subjective. One thing, What is tall? I'm 6'6" I think that's pretty tall. Others feel that 6'0" is tall. LOL In the listing, it shows this chair is good for a 6'5" person which I think is pretty accurate. I weigh about 210 pounds and the padding is just fine. One thing I would push manufacturers to do would be to give accurate measurements. Seat height low and high. Back support height. Head rest added to back height etc.! Maybe actual human measurements that the chair is geared toward. Nice to know that 400 lbs is cool but that doesn't tell me much. My primary goal was to find a chair I could sleep in because I recently had a back injury and sleeping on my bed, while fine, resulted in intense pain trying to get up in the morning. We'll see what happens but the headrest reaches my head which was goal one. The lumbar fits so I don't need to use cushions and pads etc. I found the upper position of the support to be right for me and it's super comfortable. Plus number two. The raised height of the chair fits my long legs (inseam 36") Plus three. I wanted adjustable arm rests but this one doesn't have that. No biggie, for me the height of the arm rests is pretty much just right. It might be a little high for some. The back leaning adjustment doesn't lock except for upright. Locking upright is good, and leaning back - for me - doesn't really need to lock. Being an actual tall person made me really skeptical. I'm relieved that I won't have to take it apart to return it. The assembly was straight forward and pretty easy though I'd suggest not really tightening the arms snugly before getting the back squared away - the alignment is easier if you do that. I got the chair for $109 with 21% off. It's slightly wobbly yet feels pretty well made. It rolls well enough. I'm quite satisfied with the purchase and I'll come back if there are updates. Edit one. I've had it a week now and found I couldn't sleep in it. I think it would be better if the back could recline separately from the seat. There might also be figuring out a way to support my legs due to the back and seat reclining together rather than separately. Two. I kind of wish more now that the arms were adjustable for height and tilt if that makes sense. I have a bar stool next to me on the right in front of my desk that is the right height to relax my right arm while reaching my mouse on the desk so that's my work around there. Three. The casters are kind of basic and don't roll as easily on the floor matt as my former second hand chair - they would probably be fine on a hard surface. I'll probably switch them out. Four: The lumbar support, while mostly in the right place is unpadded and creates kind of a hard spot there. I've re-introduced my lumbar support pillows for comfort there. All in all, I'm still happy with the $100 purchase. In my experience, being pretty tall always comes with compromise and these notes are not deal breakers for me. Yea, It can always be more perfect but unless you're in a showroom test driving and willing to spend $300? Right. UPDATE: I'm really not satisfied with this chair and in fact, I wish I hadn't bought it. Firstly, the pneumatic post that the chair part connects with is wobbly depending on which way it is facing according to which way the legs are aligned. It's like a poor fit and I'm pretty mechanically inclined. Second and also important. The lock to keep it upright and inclined only worked for a few weeks. For a while, you had to mess with it to engage the upright position. It no longer works. Worse than that, the lumbar support pad disconnected with the chair and is now floating and after only a month or so, the remaining supports for the Lumbar rest have dug into the fabric on the back of the chair creating holes in the back's fabric. I've tried but there is no way to reconnect that bit without removing the back's fabric as far as I can see. I'm taking this down to one star for sure. Poor design? Poor manufacturing? Yea. I wouldn't suggest this chair to anyone. If the company comes up with a solution, I'll continue my review. As for now. Not a recommendation. Update: Not impressed and kind of crappy. Mentioned is that the so called lumbar thingy disconnected and is unusable. I've got my own pad which seems to help. Also, it's wiggly where the chair connects to the base. Months later, I might toss it and go back to the chair I bought locally and second hand. Don't buy this chair!

Great Instructions, Straightforward Assembly
Color: Black
I just received this chair today, so my product review is mostly on the packaging, instructions, and assembly. The product was well-packaged, and it was obvious when I unboxed it that a lot of care and thought went into packing it in the most efficient way that would also protect the parts. I was positively impressed with the packaging. I was also incredibly impressed with the instructions and assembly process. I am used to cheaper products where the parts only half fit or important components are missing, or where the instructions were confusing and unclear. This chair's instruction manual was very clear and concise. The diagrams were easy to understand and neat. The screws came labeled and separated and also included the scew types and sizes/lengths, which is handy in case you need to pick up extras at a store somewhere. But they also included one extra of each type of screw, washer, and cover, which I appreciated during assembly. (I didn't find myself worrying what would happen if I dropped a screw, which is something I would normally be distsracted by while working.) The only things I would take points off for were these: 1. The instructions said the chair came with gloves for assembly, but no gloves were included. That was fine with me, but why mention them if you won't include them? The instructions even later say not to use the chair if not all components were present...but all the important ones were, so I assembled it without gloves (as I probably would have done anyway, since it was for me and not another person). 2. It matters which side of the seat is the front, but the sticker was confusing. The instructions show a sticker placed on the side that is the front, and that is where my sticker was placed. However, the sticker says "FRONT" and has an arrow pointing somewhere. In the instructions this arrow pointed to the front. On my seat, however, the arrow pointed to the back. So am I supposed to believe the sticker placement (it was diagonal, so it looked haphazardly slapped on) or the arrow? On that particular step the piece you are screwing into the seat can fit both ways, but thankfully there is a later step where it becomes obvious which side is the front vs. the back. (The arm rests can only be attached to the back.) So I wish that had been clearer up front, but otherwise it was okay. Recommendations for assembly: - To attach the wheels, apply firm, direct, straight-down pressure. I tried screwing them on at first but you just push. Make sure they go in the whole way like the picture shows. - When they say to tighten the screws to only 60%, it's a helpful tip, because you can't fit the armrests on both the seat and chairback at the same time with the screws completely tightened. Just tighten them enough to fit the pieces on, then later you can tighten up the screws. So far I find the chair to be very comfortable and I'm exceedingly happy with it. The lumbar support seems like it could potentially be a little chafy or scratchy, but I'll give the chair a chance before deciding if it's problematic or not. Like I said, I only got the chair today, so I can't speak much to its long-term comfort, durability, or longevity. But I was so impressed with how easy and straightforward they made the assembly that I had to write a review to show my appreciation.

It's okay
Color: Black
Appeared to be a super comfortable chair. Purchased for my mother to work from home and the material is apparently slightly itchy and the arm rest isn't quite comfortable. It was pretty simple to put together but it did take some time.

An Actual Nice Chair for a Decent Price. +2 for the Tool.
Color: Black Grey
Welp, My old chair finally broke, so It was time for a new one. I ended up coming across this chair here, and I couldn't really find anyone talking about it online. I decided to give it a shot since it was on a good sale for Christmas, going down to 99$. I'm going to be honest, I am pleasantly surprised. The cushioning for it is a little firm, but that is perfect for me. Its pretty average when it comes to office chairs, but having the added lower back support is a great touch. I have no complaints about it. The one thing that I am actually really happy about isn't on the chair. Don't get me wrong, over the week I have been using it, It has been nothing but great. That thing is the actual tool it came with. Its a basic Allen key, but the top of it is a molded handle instead of a "L" piece of metal. It made the already easy process of putting together this chair even better. Even after this chair has ran its course like all other chairs, I'm going to still use this tool. So yeah, I think 5 - stars pretty accurately describes how I feel about my chair.

COMFY CHAIR GOOD SUPPORT
Color: Dark Brown
So I needed an office chair because the one that I had wasn't really helping my back any. And it just didn't have enough cushion on the chair because when you want to sit for hours at your desk you want to be comfortable. So I took a chance on buying this chair. I thought the color was good and the price was right but I was still a little nervous because it said put together. So I got it right away only took 3 days. And the directions for pretty easy there were a couple of spots that I think we're out of order because you had to kind of play around with the screws going into the holes from the arms but I think if I were to get another chair like this I would probably do it my way because it's pretty self-explanatory but I followed the directions that came with the chair. And hey I'm 65 years old and I put this chair together. It's nice it's sleek and oh my God is it comfortable!!! Right where my lower back and sciatic is I get the support and it just feels good and I know that if I have to be at my desk for 3 or 4 hours I'm going to be comfortable. I highly highly recommend getting this chair. The only issue that I had was the driver did not leave it on my porch. I had ordered a Vizio TV a couple months ago and the driver brought it up to my porch. So I just had to go out and take two steps bring it into the house I really appreciated that. This driver didn't even come through the gate and there is no signs of any dogs because there aren't any. So this driver just left this giant heavy box it was about 35 lb in front of the garage where it was very visible from the road. And I had a dragon to my front door it was heavy I did not like that at all. But it wasn't damaged or anything and I do love the chair. I just don't like what the driver did.
