    I found this plant in a dumpster and had to rescue it it was so cold. I think its dying but I dont know what I should do for it becouse I don't know what it is. The leaves are droopy but i think they should be pointing up. Ive had it for 2 days.I was root bound so i repoted it.
    Does it need lots of light or little light? Would a heat lamp help it?

    I want to keep it alive please help.

    It looks worse today. The leaves are wilting and turning a sick green color. Would it help if i cut the dead leaves off and let them grow back? and is there any thing i can put in the soil to help it?

    Might be a Yucca elephantipes (Y.guatemalensis), if it is it may recover
    from the roots. They freeze to the soil in central Texas but resprout once
    the temps are reliably above 80F. Keep it dryish, warm and in the Sun.
