Yucca Plant Problems
Overwatering yucca plants will not only drown the roots, it can also create ideal conditions for potentially harmful fungi such as phytophthora to proliferate in the soil. Signs of overwatering include discolored or drooping foliage or leaves that feel squishy when squeezed. Root and crown rot causes discoloration and a general lack of vigor in the plant but can also include blackish spots or streaks at the base of the leaves. Root rot can cause the sudden death of the entire plant. Do not try to grow another yucca plant in a location that another yucca died, because phytophthora or other fungi may remain in the soil. Immediately stop watering if a yucca plant develops unusual symptoms, especially discolored leaves or if the yucca pups die back. Let the soil dry out completely.
