Summary

Your yucca plant is struggling due to overwatering, with signs like yellowing leaves or soft/mushy roots. Lift it to inspect the roots; healthy ones are firm and pale, while overwatered roots appear smelly or brown. Repot in fresh compost mixed with sand or perlite once the top soil is dry, ensuring proper drainage to prevent further issues.
