I feel like my Yucca Plant doesn’t appear it’s doing well, online says it should remain upright but it’s droopy. I don’t overwater and it’s placed about 2 meters in front of my large living room windows. Any suggestions? Thank you 💖
Are you sure that’s a Yucca? I don’t think it is. The following is a pic of Yucca, leaves on a Yucca are generally sharp, pointed and grow off one main clump.

I agree with JenThon. Not sure what your plant looked like when you first bought it, but these leaves appear healthy IF this were a different plant, say a Dracaena lisa. Or maybe this is a specific Yucca variety whose leaves aren't as stiff/thick. What was its appearance in the store?
1 LikeHeyyy yes it’s definitely a Yucca, maybe the picture isn’t great but it’s growing off a main clump, when I bought it, initially the leaves were pointed and sword like but it’s drooping.. I don’t know what else to do. Thank you Xx

I would check the roots. I had one that went like this and it turned out the soil was so compact it wasn’t soaking up any water. After a repot it recovered well! Otherwise could be under watered.

More light! Plants like to have a wide view of the sky.

Nice! I’m sure it will appreciate that! Now just make sure that when you water it you absolutely soak it. Like put it in a bath and let it soak for about an hour. But then let it dry out completely before watering it again.
1 Like Well then, as a Yucca, it needs even more light. I would suggest a floor plant light, If you look, some are very stylized like floor lamps, so would blend with the decor. And they have timers so you can supplement on a schedule.
1 LikeThat’s a really good idea, I’ll have a look online. I live in UK so winter months there isn’t much daylight sun. Thank you. X
