Question
How do you take care of this plant? What type of ligt should it get and from what window direction? How should it be watered and how often? Most of all, how can I get it from stop the leaves from turning yellow?

Answer
Dear Mobley,

Yuccas really are not for indoors. The reason is they require lots of light and can be overwatered very easily when kept indoors. You need to treat it like a cactus and give it the most light possible and only water when the soil is dry. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Greg
