Yukka trunk with no hope??please help! - March 15th, 2007 at 06:17 AM
Greetings Members,
Over the last 2 months my yukka (which was bought at about 2ft and 4ft tall) has tried to adapt to my apartment. There are two trunks which each went through an adaptive stage where the original leaves died off and new leaves have grown back. It is in perfect temperature and sits next to my window and receives direct and indirect sunlight throughout the day. However, while one trunk (the smaller one)is beginning to do very well, the other (4ft) seems to be lacking any life. Currently there are no signs of new growth and all the original leaves have dried/died/turned yellow and fallen off. The sprouts seem to be drying up as well. So, my question to all of you is.... will this taller trunk eventually or ever have a chance of growing back its leaves and/or (new)sprouts if I keep it in a good environmental condition? or does it have no chance at all and I should pull it out of the pot? Any help is very much appreciated!! thanks!
