When you have a leaning yucca plant, it may appear as though the plant is leaning because it is top heavy, but healthy yucca stems stand up under a heavy growth of leaves without bending. Read on to find out what really causes a yucca to lean over. Reasons for Yucca Plant Leaning
The three main causes of a yucca leaning over are root rot, drought, and shock. Root Rot – The number one cause of problems with all houseplants is over watering, and yuccas grown indoors are no exception. Over watering leads to root rot, which prevents the plant from taking up enough water. Drought – It is ironic that the symptoms of too much water and not enough water are the same: drooping stems, wilting leaves, and yellowing. Drought is more common than root rot when plants are grown outdoors.
