Yucca Stem Collapse: Cut and Reroot the Top

Shriveled Stem = Cut Off Water Supply

The collapsed top can no longer receive water. Cut above the shriveled section and root the cutting in damp mix or water. The bottom portion likely won't recover.

Probable Causes

• Chronic over- or underwatering
• Insufficient light
• Prior neglect before you inherited it

Prevention for New Growth

• Water by weight (heavy → light cycle).
• Bright indirect light.
• Well-draining soil.
