Yucca Plant Decline: Light and Water Deficits

Yucca slowly dying: 3/4 leaves yellow/brown from middle outward, no new growth. West window, water every 2 weeks, soil dry on top. Expert Will Creed: likely insufficient light and/or water. Yucca needs:

• Direct west window, within 2–3 ft, unobstructed all day.
• Water thoroughly until trickle from drainage; rewater when top inch dry (not by calendar).
• Trim discolored leaves—they won't recover.
• New growth will emerge at stem tops with proper care.

Yuccas need much more light than corn plants. Free yucca care article via email.
