Dead Lower Cane on Yucca: Remove and Assess Care

If all leaves on a yucca cane have died, that cane is dead. Wait until it loosens, then pull it out. The cause—usually insufficient light or improper watering—may affect remaining canes. Ensure bright light and water only when top quarter of soil is dry. Monitor other canes for similar decline.
