Yucca

Hi
I have a Yucca ‘tree’. How can I stop it from growing? Also, the leaves are looking very sad. Leaves are growing from the base of three. Please advise

You can’t really stop it from growing. If it is an indoor yucca, it may be rootbound. The leaves from the bottom are likely pups, which increase when the plant is under stress. Check to see if it is rootbound and if it is, you can repot it or you can root prune it. Root pruning will help keep it smaller. These articles will help:
