YorkshireQ.Yucca plant
My yucca plant came as a larger one and a smaller one in the same pot. I've left them together but the larger one is dying. Its trunk is hollow when you tap it, unlike the smaller one which still sounds solid. Also, with the larger one, only two leaves are left sprouting out of it and they are now starting to turn yellow. I replanted both into a larger pot a few weeks ago hoping that would improve the bigger one but it seems not. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

January 4, 2016A.You should have success removing the pup from the plant and repotting it in a separate pot.
Make sure you don't use to large of a pot as this can lead to overwatering and root rot.Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.

Portsmouth UKQ.Indoor yucca plant
Have 5 ft yucca plant. Was in my shop for long time. We moved so I took it home, put it in my front room. Been there for 5 weeks and leaves and stems are going yellow. Can you help?

January 10, 2016A.Yellowing leaves could be due to a change in light conditions, or watering issues; to much or to little.
Insects or disease can also cause yellowing leaves.

March 18, 2016Q.how to care for indoor plant
We have an indoor yucca plant with three staggered stalks. The tallest stalk has lost most of the leaves. The plant gets morning sun from front door side window. My husband thinks the plant is dying. However, the other stalks seem to have some new shoots.

March 18, 2016A.The browning leaves are most likely cause by to much sunlight.
A well lit area but away from direct light is the best location

slaton texas 79364Q.Yucca cane
I have just purchased a yucca cane as the label states low light. I have it placed in a room that does not get hardly any light, and would like to know if putting a LED plant light above the plant would be a good idea.

April 3, 2016A.You should try for a sunny location or a partly sunny spot.
If you have no natural lighting area you can add a grow light for you plant.Here are some articles to help you.

April 6, 2016A.Your plant actually looks quite healthy!
Browning tips can occur from to much sunlight, or excess fertilizer, or even excess salts can build up from watering with conditioned water.
Try using distilled water to water your plant.
Potted Yucca soil should dry between waterings. Avoid overwatering and make sure the soil is draining of excess water.Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.

April 15, 2016Q.Outdoor yucca plant
I have 3 outdoor yucca plants and note that all the leaves have turned brown in the past few weeks, and they look as if they are dead or dying. This was their first winter outside and they are in pots. The pots were insulated with bubble wrap prior to planting. I have regularly removed the bottom layer of brown/dead leaves. Can you help?
