    I aquired this plant/tree about a year ago. I don't know much about it and was wondering if it needs to be repotted. If someone would please tell me the name I can do the proper research to optimize its care..

    Thank You Everyone,
    Bradley

    Yucca guatemalensis, I'm pretty sure. Couldn't tell you whether it needs to be repotted or not: you can see the root ball, and I can't.

    Your Zamioculcas is an excellent low light plant,
    however your Yucca is suffering as in nature it
    grows in full sun. See what you can do, maybe
    let it spend it's summers outside on a shaded
    deck?

    Yes. At first it'll be easily damaged but later it'll toughen up.
