What to do if yucca leaves turn yellow?

If you notice that the yucca leaves turn yellow, then first you need to determine the main reason for this phenomenon. It is usually associated with excessively dry air in the apartment. To provide the necessary air humidity, you can try spreading damp sheets on a battery. The evaporating water will create a favorable microclimate for your indoor flower.

Yucca care

Yucca, which is relatively easy to care for, can be susceptible to certain pests. So, if we consider the common diseases of yucca, then among them the most common is cercosporosis. This fungal disease of indoor plants manifests itself in the form of brown spots that have an irregular or oval shape.

By the way, cercosporosis develops with active spraying and high humidity. Therefore, indoor yucca requires strict adherence to the water regime. Otherwise, either the leaves will begin to turn yellow due to lack of moisture, or a fungus will appear due to waterlogging.

If we consider the main types of yucca, then the most popular are filamentous, gray-gray and aloe-leafy. But garden yucca takes root well in the country or in the garden, and can harmoniously fit into your landscape design with your own hands.

Many still inexperienced growers identify the cultivation of yucca and dracaena. In fact, there are many differences between these two houseplants. For example, yucca does not need daily spraying, unlike dracaena.

Yucca blooms beautifully in nature. But, unfortunately, at home it is impossible to witness this phenomenon a priori.

Yes, moisture for flowers plays a very important role. And almost everyone understands this, but sometimes there is not enough strength to spray their flowers once again.

I realized that the leaves of my yucca were turning yellow from the dry air. I came to this after I took the flower to work, where it was not so hot.

Even from an excess of feeding, the leaves begin to turn yellow and curl at the tips. It is necessary not only to monitor the appearance, but also to observe watering and feeding. It is worth adding minerals once a year, not 2. when transplanting, the flower will receive everything it needs, but in winter you can pamper a yucca.

On my palm, the leaves turn yellow mainly in the summer or winter, when the heating is turned on. I try to pay special attention to spraying during such periods. This usually helps.
