June 2, 2021Q.Can I Save My Yucca Plant
Had my yuccas about 4 years but this is the 1st year its looked like this. We hardly ever water it and it always looks so healthy. I've sprayed it with a multi bug spray which is for plants and fruit or veg.

Certified ExpertA.Go ahead and trim off the leaves with the large spots. I think it may be a fungal or bacterial infection. This article should help narrow down the problem:

June 11, 2021Q.Help With Yucca Adam’s Needle
We inherited what we think are 3 Adam's Needle yucca plants. They have begun to droop and look wilted. Should we prune or is there something else going on? I have no idea how old they are.

Certified ExpertA.This is normal. As the plant grows, it will start to lose lower leaves. You can cut them when they are almost completely dead.

July 1, 2021Q.Yucca Dying
I rarely water it, just whatever the weather brings. I have two of these, the other is just fine. This started about a year or less ago. The nursery told me it could be a porcupine problem. ???

Certified ExpertA.I think that there are a few issues at play, here. A fungicide, and a little feed, will likely solve the issue.

Certified ExpertA.Warm air rises and cold air sinks. Red yucca is hardy to USDA zone 5 so it should survive temperatures in the high teens.

July 10, 2021Q.Self-watering Pot And Yucca Cane Questions
I recently purchased a Yucca Cane plant, while the only pot available during my purchase was a self-watering pot (since it's quartine times and everyone is getting interested in being plant parents.) Is it ok for me to keep my Yucca Plant in there and what measures can I take to make sure the roots don't rot and my plant continues to grow? I know I shouldn't let the plant sit in the water for a long time, so would it be better if I were to dump out the water or... I just need some knowledge placed in my tiny brain! I am very new and only getting started to become "plant mom" so I just want tips and more knowledge to make sure my plant doesn't die on me. Please let me know all tips possible for me to be able to keep my Yucca plant alive. Please and thank you!

Certified ExpertA.That container will be fine, if you use that reservoir more like a drip pan. After watering, normally, just dump out any water that collects.

Certified ExpertA.Those are aerial roots. You can prevent them by lowering the humidity in your house, and watering less often.
