My Yucca plant gets plenty of sun. Why does it look like it has a fungus or something? What can I do?

    Yeah that kinda looks like mold. Does it wipe off? Weird. These guys like dry air I think, so maybe check your humidity?

    I agree with the powdery mildew. I get this on my African violets sometimes. I treat with a spray of 1 tablespoon potassium bicarbonate, 1/2 teaspoon liquid castile soap (not dish soap) in a gallon of water. Spray your plant thoroughly once a week for three weeks. The spray only kills what it touches so you must be thorough. Powdery mildew spreads through spores in the air so keep an eye on your other plants. You might want to spray the plants nearby once thoroughly as a preventative. I'd also use filtered water if you have hard tap water. Hard water will leave mineral spots on your leaves. Good luck!!

    This is a large plant with lots of nooks and crannies so I'd use one of those pump bottles if i were you. Otherwise your hand is going to be very tired by the time you've gotten the top and bottom of all the leaves. Also should do it outside because it will be a drippy mess until it dries. Just a thought.
