Sick Yucca Cane: Over/Underwatering, Low Light, Baseboard Heat

Multiple Stressors

Shanti's yucca: inconsistent watering, former low light, baseboard heater drying roots. One stalk dead, others deformed.

Rescue Plan

1. Light: South window, blinds open dawn to dusk.
2. Heat: Deflect baseboard heat with foil-covered board.
3. Water: Winter: every 2 weeks; Summer: weekly. Only when dry deep down.
4. Pot: New ceramic pot same size, drainage hole + saucer. Never sit in water.

Recovery Outlook

If the main stalk has firm green tissue, it can recover. Deformed shoots may normalize with consistent care.
