    I have listed a few links for you with more information.
    They include a good 'recipe' for Yucca container potting mix.
    Make sure the Yucca do need to be repotted, they generally do not need frequent repotting. If you are doing so though, make sure your only going up one size of pot.
    For the smaller cuttings, I would leave them in their pots and repot next spring if they need to be put in larger pots.

    If the plant was all ready in a stressed state when you purchased it, then it was repotted and moved to a much brighter location it may not recover.

    I would move it to a partial sun location and verify the soil that you used to pot the plant is a good quality mix of sand and peat.
    The new pot size should have been only 1" larger in size then the original pot.

    Yellowing leaves generally will indicate a watering issue, too much or too little.

    Here is a link that will refresh on the care requirements.

    Yucatan Princess alocasia need a bright but indirect sunlight growing location. The direct sun is likely to much for you plants.
    Also they should be planted in a mixture of potting soil, peat and orchid bark. The plants must not be overwatered. They soil should dry slightly in between waterings.

    Root Rot will take hold quickly if the plant sits in over wet soil.
    Yellowing leaves is generally a sign of watering issues.

    Move the plant to a less sunny position and allow the soil to dry.

    Just allow the stem to be open to the air.
    It should heal on it's own.
    Watch for any signs of insects or disease.
    You can apply Neem Oil if you see a problem

    Yes, you can trim the dead leaves or the tips of the leaves that have turned color.
    Check the watering, as yellowing leaves could be from to much or to little watering.
