A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum yucca elephantipes problems?????????

Hi all, ive had my yucca for around 6 months. when i bought it, it looked healthy and full. Its around 3-4 feet tall and has 3 trunks, on the tallest trunk the leaves are a deep green but they keep turning brown and drying up so i pull them off( is this good?). On the bottom two trunks the new growth is turning yellow and sagging / collapsing, the base of the leaves are white in colour . I water the plant every two weeks its also not in full sun. Can anyone help as i love this plant and looks really good. thanks bruce.

Yuccas are a succulent plant and store a considerable amount of water.
Is it possible that you are over-watering?
Do you allow the soil to dry completely before you water?

Thanks for your response I think may be over watering. how deep Do i let the soil completely dry out to? If i take the shoots off that have sagged will they in time grow back? thanks bruce.
