Yucca (Spineless) Leaf Dieback: Insufficient Light

Your 18″ Yucca losing lower leaves while kept near a TV (no direct sun) is light starvation. Yuccas are desert plants requiring full sun.

Fix

  1. Move immediately to south-facing window, blinds open all day.
  2. Water sparingly: Only when soil dry 2–3″ down.
  3. Remove dead leaves (they won't recover).
  4. New growth should emerge from top within weeks.

Note on Repotting

Recent repot into large pot + low light = high rot risk. Ensure pot has drainage; don't water on schedule.

Yuccas are tough. Correct light = rapid recovery.
