Yukka plants


Question
I have 2 stem indoor yukka plant,its about 3ft+2ft,its leaves have brown in the middle+tips how do you cut them down or carnt you do that

Answer
Ellen,

Simply use hevy garden pruners and cut them off below the brown. The stalks will send out new side shoots. The brown came from too little light or too much water or both. This is a desert plant. It should be in full sun for as long as possible. It also should not be watered until it has been dry for at least 5 days. In the summer I do not water mine more often then every 10 days and in the wither every 2 to 2 weeks.  You can also just remove the brown leaves and let the plant continue growing and it will look like a palm tree. Good luck.
