Rescuing Neglected 27-Year-Old Yuccas

Two neglected yuccas with most leaves gone need assessment before action. Do NOT put them in direct outdoor sun—they'll burn.

First Steps

• Move to bright, indirect light immediately.
• Email photos for specific guidance.
• Do NOT repot—causes more harm.
• Leaves won't root; only healthy stem cuttings can propagate.
• Pruning may help, but depends on stem condition.

Yuccas are tough; with proper light and careful watering, they can recover.
