Spineless Yucca Brown Tips: Overwatering in Oversized Pot

Yucca in 18" pot (3' plant) + weekly pint = root rot. Desert plant needs dry cycles.

Fix

1. Moisture meter ($10) or dowel test—water only when dry at root zone.
2. Winter: Once monthly. Summer: Every 7-10 days.
3. Pot size: 12-14" max. Downsize or let dry thoroughly.
4. Light: Max sun—south window.
5. Gravel top: Remove; impedes drying.
