Yucca palm has leaves hanging down

Yucca is probably too damp

If the yucca is drooping its leaves, you have most likely watered it and / or too often kept too moist (and used the spray bottle too often to close the leaves wet). By now the roots are probably already rotten, so that the affected leaves can no longer be properly cared for. Maybe it is already that tribe Affected: Take a look to see if it is already soft or if it feels otherwise changed.

If incorrect watering behavior and rotten roots are the causes of the drooping leaves, with a little luck you can still save the healthy parts of the yucca:

• Drain the yucca and remove all soil.
• Inspect the roots and trim away any rotten things.
• Also prune the yucca above ground: Remove all diseased parts of the plant.
• Repot the yucca in fresh substrate.
• And pour significantly less from now on!
• In severe cases, cut off the still healthy parts of the plant
• and root this as Trunk or crested cuttings in a pot with soil.
• Do not put the cuttings in a water glass for rooting
• and do not put a plastic bag or cut off PET bottle over it.
• This only encourages putrefaction.

Pour yucca properly

A yucca once or even twice a week too to wateris way too common. Let the plant dry once between the individual waterings - it is only time for fresh water when the substrate is also dry deep inside (finger test!). Since the yucca is also succulent and has the ability to only add a little water during high temperatures evaporate, it usually does not have to be poured more often than usual during hot summer days will.
