Content: However, during a rainy season, your plant may require very little, if any, watering. Insufficient Water
The leaves of the yucca will begin to shrivel and wrinkle if it's left unwatered for too long. Water yucca immediately when it begins wilting, otherwise the wilting will continue and the yucca will die. Under-watered yuccas will perk up soon after being watered. Overwatering Problems
Overwatering promotes disease and root rot. Discolored and dead leaves are an obvious sign of necrosis brought on by disease that usually occurs as a result of overwatering. The yucca cannot withstand waterlogged soil for extended periods of time. Root rot will cause the roots to rot away and give off a putrid odor. Signs of root rot will eventually appear on the yucca's foliage. Root rot will kill just about any plant if it's left unchecked.
