Yucca Misidentified as Corn Plant: Light & Pot Size Fix

It's a Yucca, Not a Corn Plant

Yuccas need direct sun (south window, uncovered) and a smaller pot. Current 16" pot stays wet too long—roots likely rotting.

Rescue

  1. Cut tallest stem back to where it joins main cane.
  2. Repot into 14" pot with original rootball only.
  3. South window, uncovered all day.
  4. Water when top ⅓ dry.

Correct ID changes everything. Yuccas are succulents; corn plants are not.
