Hey guys, First post here :) My Yucca which I bought about 6 weeks ago isn't doing so well :( I was told it was a good plant to buy as its pretty resiliant and hard to kill... It sits in a fairly dark corner but since it started looking unwell (about 2 weeks ago) I've moved it in front o my window, however it doesn't seem to be perking up at all. I haven't given it any fertiliser, just tap water. The pot is well drained (I guess?) - the soil certainly isn't waterlogged. I didn't water it at all for the first month and then gave it quite a bit, however I always waited until the soil was dry before giving it more. Any clues? Thanks a bunch :) Ewan.
OK, for a start, it shouldn't be in a dark corner. All mine are outside in full sub tropical sun. They are hard to kill and if its the yellowing of the leaves you are worried about, IMHO it is just shocked at getting actual sunlight. I don't believe it is dying, it just needs to get used to the sun again. Give it a bit of time to adjust. Do not fertilize and water as normal. Thats what I think, someone else may have a different opinion though. Good luck Ed
Cheers Ed, exactly what I wanted to hear :) What would "water as normal" constitute? I was thinking about 500ml a week? Or is that too much?
