Help! I have a yucka plant that I repotted on Mother’s Day. I completely changed the soil. I now know that you don’t do this but what can I do to bring her back? The app is telling me to place in shade, no fertilizer and water more frequently?

    What was the difference in soil? Its honestly not horrible yo completely change soil, especially when a plant is in bad soil. But shock will cause them to yellow and dry out. Mycorrhizal can help with transplant shock. And I usually water well prior to repot so the plant doesn't lose a lot of water in the process.

      If it seems dry, id bottom water it in luke warm water for 30-60 mins. The let it drain well. And see if that helps. I wouldn't change its environment anymore. Personally I do fertilize after I repot, too. But its personal preference really.

    I think I used potting mix prior and this time is was a combo of potting and cactus as I read they like dryer soil. It’s staying moist, not wet but moist right now.
