Recovering an Overwatered Spineless Yucca

Cactus-Like Care for a Rotted Yucca

An overwatered spineless yucca with dropping leaves needs maximum sun and minimal water. Treat it like a cactus:

• Place in sunniest window (drapes/blinds open all day).
• Water only after soil has been very dry for 5+ days.
• Empty drain tray 1 hour after watering (turkey baster if heavy).
• Winter: water every 2 weeks; summer: weekly.
• Summer outdoors under shade tree—hot sun burns leaves.

Roots will slowly regenerate. Patience and strict dryness are essential.
