Answer 1

Hi:
Yucca cane will thrive in dry conditions, so you may want to cut back on watering. Your plant may also be in a shock period. You can test this by taking your fingernail and scratching the surface. If it is green, the Yucca is healthy, If it is brown, the plant specimen may be in shock. There are a couple of things you can do. One is to add a slow release six month nitrogen fertilizer to the plant. Only use a handful. The other thing you can do is to add some organic mushroom compost to your soil. This is an organic fertilizer that will last up to one year. You can go ahead and do both.

I live in zone seven and Yucca and other plant specimens can go into shock. I hope this helps and if you need any further suggestions, please feel free to contact me at my website. I will link you to my simple solutions section as well as my site map. The site map has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if you can find anything else that may help you with the Yucca or any other landscaping need. Best of luck to you and have a great day!

Scroll all the way down on the page it's very interesting about the Yucca.

Is it possible to transplant Yucca plants?
The tricky part is to make sure you get as much root as possible when removing it from the original hole. Also, make sure the new location has a hole large enough to accommodate the entire root system.***Yuccas**
**can tolerate a wide range of soils **
but they prefer loose or sandy, loamy soil. However, if the conditions where you are transplanting from are different and the plant looks happy now, try to match the soil conditions in the new site. It is best to do your transplanting either early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the hottest part of the day. This will help reduce transplant shock. Water in well and keep it watered every few days until it gets established.
*** Yucca plants look bad for a while *****after transplanting ***********
but by next season, they should be well established in the new location.
***********NOTE***********
Many yuccas decline and eventually die after blooming. If most of the leaves on your plant appear to be dying, you may cut the entire plant to the ground right now. Several “pups”, or small plants should sprout from the roots later this spring or summer. You can leave them all there to grow in the place of the original plant or dig up some of the pups and place them in other areas of your

It somewhat relies upon on the place you're, what the climate's been, and how plenty yucca you have. human beings improve yuccas the place I stay particularly effectively (middle Tennessee) the place it somewhat is warm and humid with a fantastically stable quantity of rainfall each and every 365 days. once you're in an rather heat and dry section like Arizona or southern Nevada, it somewhat is recommended to water a clean one a pair of situations each and every week. once you're in cooler or wetter climes, as quickly as each and every week, if it does not rain, is probable sufficient.

Answer 4

you could be. yuccas like a dry arid condition. but then again it could just be transplant shock. cut back on the watering and give it some time. hopefully its in full sun too.

Answer 5

maybe , if the plant dies it'll come back off the roots so don't worry to much
