May 9, 2016A.Light fertilization can help establish the plant when growing yucca in containers, but is not needed for established plants.

June 16, 2016Q.Yucca
I have a yucca (I think), with one trunk branching off into 3 stems. It's not looking too healthy these days and where it used to have leaves all the way up the stems, it now just has them at the top. I was going to repot into a bigger pot but thought I'd ask advice first, please find the photo attached. I keep it in my living room not in direct sunlight. Thanks for any help. Gareth

June 18, 2016A.We did not receive an image of your plant.
Your plant may not necessarily need repotting.
It may need to be pruned.
Here are some great articles that will help you access your plant and get it back in shape.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/yucca/yucca-repotting-tips.htm

June 22, 2016Q.Transplanting a Yucca outside
I currently have an 11 year old Yucca. It has been grown indoors throughout. It is now starting to take over and is very big, so I would like to transplant it outdoors into my garden and from pot to ground. I've asked my local Homebase garden dept and they said a big NO!! But your site says yes? Can I definitely put it to ground outside without harming it? And are there any special precautions to take through winter periods, like frost or snow, etc.? Thanks in advance.

June 22, 2016A.Your indoor Yucca plant would not survive temperatures below freezing. In fact it can be placed outdoors in the spring and summer but really should not be exposed to temperatures below 50 degrees.
This Yucca is a different plant then the outdoor Yucca that grows outdoors.

July 18, 2016Q.Why are my yucca leaves dying?
It's in front of a large window with morning sun and evening shade. It's usually about 70° in my apartment too.

July 19, 2016A.The yellowing leaves and then eventual drying leaves may be watering issues in combination with lighting. Make sure the soil is of good quality and well draining. Allow the first inch or so to dry out before watering again.

78418Q.Yucca plant
I was moving my Yucca plant. While moving it, I dropped the pot and decapitated the top part of the plant. Can the leafy decapitated part be placed in water and grow roots? Will the stem produce new growth?

We have two yucca plants in big pots at the front of the house. The tips are getting black burnt with a honey color secretion. The plants have been healthy for two years but unhealthy for six months.

August 30, 2016A.Though the Yucca plants do like to be root bound, it the plant is so root bound and can't take up moisture and nutrients it may be time to repot the plant.

Plant at first did very well in south-facing window. There is new growth but some of the new fronds appear to be coming in "dried" up. I started to mist thinking humidity may be the problem. What to do?

October 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
