My Yucca Plant is yellowing for some reason? Am I over watering? I usually water it sparingly weekly or 10days- when the soil looks dry. What should I do?

Yuccas really like to dry out between waterings so 7-10 days sounds too frequent. The way I do it is I check the soil by putting a wooden chopstick or skewer in the soil to the bottom of the pot. If it comes out with soil stuck to it, it’s still wet and can wait. If it comes out dry, you’re good to water. This is more accurate than just going by the look of the top soil

Thank you very much. Will use the chopstick method
