How to revive Yucca an almost dead houseplant Yucca!

[@wisconsinaquatics]

I got mine from Walmart last winter. I would bring it outside during the day and took it in at night. It just loved that bright Wisconsin sunlight it grew like a weed!

[@rogthegardener1]

Sounds great! Our British weather might be a bit harsh for it at times, but I am sure they would love being outside during nice summer weather 👍 Thanks

[@Editmaster6057]

Uhh Wisconsins weather is something 😅

[@hg393]

This plant looks very familiar 😆 I can’t wait to see and update and some hope!!

[@robertakeogh8650]

I tuned in to your video because I just wanted to hear about the Yucca!

[@poetrywithwings]

If all the leaves are brown would you want to just cut the whole thing down or just trim off all the leaves? I am getting a nice moist white when cut into the stem so I have some hope.

[@rogthegardener1]

@@poetrywithwings hi thanks for your message, without seeing the plant it is difficult to be sure but I would probably just remove the brown leaves and wait until I see some new shoots which could find a few months and then see if I need to cut back any stems back to where the new shoots are growing from … does that make sense?

[@goldenserenity2385]

Would you also snip off floppy green leaves beginning to discolour or just the dead ones? I have a yucca in need of revival, but mine was overwatering, and the soil / root zone was damp, so I have re-potted in a larger pot with 1 part sand, as well as a some small gravel to help drainage

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi, sounds like you are heading in the right direction, just be careful not to give too much water into the new compost for a few months as it will take a while for the roots to speared into it. Ref the droopy leaves - if they start to go yellow then yes trim them off, but if they are still green they then they are potentially providing energy to the plant via photosynthesis - hope this helps, good luck and please keep us posted Thanks Roger

[@judithsidey3866]

Hi Rodger could you advise me on the best substrate for a yucca please thanks 😊

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi Judith - thanks for getting in touch, and for your question. Well drained houseplant compost is usually good so that they do not get too wet - some folks mix a soil based compost such as 'John Innes' in with a houseplant compost and perhaps add a little grit for drainage - are you living in the UK?

@@Valerie-pk9tn hi, a sad tale there unfortunately, it wasn’t my plant I was tidying it up for somebody else (it had been neglected in their office). Just as it was starting to put on new growth somebody decided to surprise them by clearing the office and completely redecorating it and during the process the yucca got thrown out as they weren’t aware of the new growth / bright future we hoped for it! If you look on my channel there is a playlist for houseplants where you should see another yucca that I have had some success with-hope that helps?

[@jeanettetaylor2397]

Hi, I bought a yucca plant with 2 stems in the same pot. It was beautiful for a couple of years, but last year the leaves on one of the stems started drying and eventually it is now bare. At its base there is a sprouting plant. Is that a new yucca cutting? Should I pull out the bare stem? The other stem it was bought with looks fine. The pot is kept in the conservatory. Please help!

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi Jeanette, thanks for your comment, sorry to hear that one stem is not looking so good, but encouraging to hear that there are signs of new growth lower down … just checking is that new shoot actually coming from the base of the stem that had suffered? It could be that you will get more than one new shoot … so my instinct is to do nothing drastic for a few months, as we move into spring you could give the whole plant some plant food to encourage more new growth and then re-assess. Maybe the top of the ‘dead-ish’ stem could be cut back if it turns soft, but if it is still firm then I would leave it in case you get more shoots from further up the stem.. Make sense?

[@Fir_roy]

I have an indoor yucca plant that looked exactly like that but I was making sure that I water it regularly but not too much, it looked healthy up until the beginning of winter so I dont know 😪. I ended up repotting it and was scared maybe it had root rot or something. Hopefully my yucca plant survives !!

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi Pauline - thanks for your comment, if you are in the UK the only problem with repotting is the danger of overwatering while the roots haven't grown into the new compost - so I would only give a little water for the next month or two - once we get into spring the roots will more quickly grow into the fresh compost and you should get more new leaf growth too - I hope there is a happy ending ... please keep us posted, thanks!

[@inah1295]

Hello Robert I have indoor yucca plant in our office but i think it’s dead there’s no leaves left at all 😢 I’m living in a very hot weather country. Should I put the plant near the window to get sunlight to revive it? Appreciate your reply

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi, thanks for your comment 😀 I suppose one problem with putting it too near the window is that it could get too hot? I would make sure the compost is always slightly damp (although not soaking wet) and maybe give the plant some general fertiliser to encourage some new growth. You could put it nearer the window for a while but if you get some new leaves (we all hope you do!) you may need to keep the plant away from direct light to avoid scorching the leaves… I hope this makes sense / helps? Please keep us updated with your progress and any other questions Thanks

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi, thanks for your comment, it is hard to know if your plant needs re-potting without seeing it - but I would not normally advise removing any soil before re-potting (not sure if were considering that?) Do you know how long the plant has been in the pot, and is it 'top heavy' and easy to fall over?

Hi can you please advise me on what to do! My yukka plant was becoming yellow and crispy so I left it outside my house and lost track of days over the winter. Now the bottoms leave of very droopy almost damp soggy and brown and the top leaves aren’t droopy but are yellowing I took it out of the vase and noticed water at the bottom which smelled so left it out in its pot now and left it to dry (as the soil was still damp) it’s been too days nothing what should I do? Why are the bottom leaves droopy, damp and brown and top dry, up-right and yellow? Thank you so much hope to hear soon!

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi, thanks for your comment ... I did type up a reply a few days ago but it doesn't seem to have uploaded - sorry Yellowing leaves / can be caused by too much water or too little water ... so it is hard to know if yours is suffering because of being too dry at first or too wet after being outside .... or maybe both? So, it probably needs to be inside somewhere protected from the weather and to allow the soil to dry out ... it may take some time to improve ... an important question .. where are you living because putting the plant outside here in the uk during winter could damage it because it is too cold ... If you could let me know where in the world you are living, and how the plant / soil is looking now we can try and help you Thanks

[@jesseyoder7826]

My yucca at that top the leaves ard green and firm but underneath that the leaves are yellow and dead and the trunks are yellow below those but the turn normal several inches down. Should i top it off where it turns yellow or try to let it recover since there is still nice green leaves at the top?

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi, thanks for your excellent question, it’s always hard to understand what’s going on with people’s plants when I can’t see and touch them… but if I understand your description correctly it sounds like there is life in those shoots still because of the green leaves so in that case I think I would trim off all those yellow leaves back close to the stem, and see if you can encourage some more fresh green growth (some houseplant fertiliser might might help?) and let us know how you get on, it could take 6 months or more before you get enough new growth to have a noticeable improvement in the plants appearance …. I hope there is a happy ending for you and your plant 😀

[@Jayjamie]

Hi Rodger.. I have over Watered my yucca plant. Have you got any tips or advice to revive it please?

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi Jay, overwatering is so easily done, especially if the pot is inside a pot cover or in a saucer where the excess water will collect. So you need to allow the soil to dry out as soon as possible - can ask where are you living ? Uk?

[@AudryRoseYT]

Does the trunk grow taller? I got one from a store and it looks like it has a sort of black tar over it. But I think i overwatered it because the new growth looks withered and lots of brown leaves like this one. Should I repot with a dryer soil?

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi Audry - thanks for your comment and excellent question! You may be able to tell if it is overwatered by gently pressing your finger into the compost if it is wet then that could be too wet. I am not sure that I would be in a hurry to repot it yet as that can cause even more stress, the key is to allow the compost to dry out ... a couple of questions ... Where do you live? Is the plant outside or inside Is the pot stood inside another pot, or stood in a saucer? In my experience the original trunk doesn't grow taller, but the new shoots develop into 'trunks' after many years ...they can get several feet tall. Hope this helps? Thanks Roger

[@keyladuarte6170]

Hi Roger, thanks for the video. I have a yucca plant and now during the winter (I'm in Germany) it's getting yellow leaves 😔... Maybe too much water. What can I do to save it?

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi Keyla, thanks for your comment, yes it could be too wet, there are few things that can cause leaves to go yellow … I assume it has not got too cold? If we assume it could have got too wet then you need to allow the compost to dry out, which bay take a month or more in the middle of winter … if it is in a light position that may help. Longer term you may want to consider standing the pot on some stones so that any water that runs out of the bottom of the pot is not soaked back up into the compost … I am not sure if that makes sense to you? I did a video about this a few trick years back, I’ll put a link to the video below. Please let us know if this makes helps and how you get on with your Yucca, thank you

Here is the other video, it was actually for a different sort of houseplant but the 'stones for drainage' trick would help you too .. if you look at about 3 minutes on in the video that should be of help to you? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH65dX-ji62SbNk

Hi Robert! I am in desperate need of your help! My yucca has sadly suffered a lot. A couple of the leaves got broken off during a house move and then I ended up over watering it causing root rot. I have now repotted it into premium compost but the longer trunk isn’t healing. There is no no leaves on it. The trunk is however still firm. Do you think I need to cut through the trunk? If so do I need to put a black tar kind of thing on it like it has at the moment? Thank you in advance!

Hey Lucy, sorry to hear about your yucca drama … can I ask you a couple of questions - are you in the uk? ( not being nosey 😀, just want to confirm what season you are in. - how long is it since you repotted the plant - have you got any leaves at all on the plant?

Hi Thanks very much for your question, which KZbin translated for me and I hope you will be able to translate my answer too ...? In my experience, once the stem has gone soft it is not going to grow again, but if the stem is hard and firm lower down then I would try cutting the stem where it is still form and there is a chance it will send out new shoots .. you may have to wait a long time (maybe 6 months) to see the new shoots starting to grow. Be careful to not get the compost too wet, especially if you do not have many leaves left on the plant after you have cut it back as that can cause the stem to rot. Here is another of my videos showing how I cut back a Yucca stem and you can also see a stem that was cut back a year before and is starting to grow new shoots - hope this helps / makes sense? kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3fSp6aHp8iXmLs

Hi Daniel - thanks for your comment / question. Even if that short stem has no leaves at the moment, it could sprout some new growth in spring - so may be worth waiting a couple of months to see how it does, don't give the plant too much water - let it go dryish before watering again and maybe give it a little feed in spring ... please keep us posted on how you get on, are you in the UK?

[@rogthegardener1]

Hi, thanks for your comment, its hard to tell without seeing your plant, but if the mold / rot is midway up the stem (has the stem turned soft/) them yes you could cut well below the area of rot and you will probably get new shoots from lower down you might be abler to then plant the upper section of stem that you have cut off but would need to cut any soft moldy stem first .. does that make sense?

Hi there, thank you for this video! I’m having a slightly different issue with my yucca. It was thriving in a garden room until our recent cold snap in the UK. I wasn’t able to check on it for a few days as the path was so icy and when I did it was drooping so badly and the newer section at the very top was squidgy. I brought it into the house and have placed it by the window. I also cut off the squidgy section at the top (not sure if that was the right thing to do!) I also repotted as the weight of the dropping top leaves had pulled the whole plant to the side. The remaining leaves are still looking very sad 3 days later and feel limp. The main trunk and older offshoots are firm. Is my poor plant done for or do I just need to be patient with it?

[@rogthegardener1]

Ah Laura, you have our sympathies! I would keep on cutting out any soft tissue and stem until you have firm stems .. even if they have no leaves left … it may take several months but there is a chance that in spring the firm stems will grow new shoots and you can start again. Try not to give the plant too much water especially as it has been reported because without roots in the fresh compost to suck out the water it can get too wet and cause root rot … Hope this helps?

Hi. Good video but is that plastic grass in the background?. One of the biggest threats to wildlife, it holds no environmental benefits and is not recyclable. Please have a rethink.

Hi Thanks for your comment, glad you liked the Yucca section. Yes you do have a point re the artificial grass, we put it down some years ago before the environmental concerns started to grow ... I do understand the concerns but am puzzled why nobody raises concerns about the Indian sandstone slabs we have in our garden and most of the gardens around us seem to have similar slabs .. so I think the scale of potential environmental, and possibly ethical, concerns could be far greater for the use of imported stone slabs because there is much wider / scale of use? I am not trying to divert from the potential issues of artificial grass, we can look at replacing ours in the future, meanwhile we have other areas of the garden with lawns and lots of wildlife friendly planting.
