Please Help! Yucca sick and I don't know why!
I've had this Yucca for several years. The new growth has been as you see it in the photos for at least 2 years now, it won't uncurl and the older growth started to curl approximately a few months ago. The new growth remains uncurled. And it's getting worse day by day. What should I do? I've read everything from the curling leaves are a sign of too much sun to not enough water, through to root rot.
Please help, please advise, I don't want to lose my dear yucca tree. Thanks!

Dying plants and I don't know why... Help me please!!
Comments (2)Not enough information to be able to offer you any help. I, for one, would like to know your general location on the planet (climate is an important clue), some of the plants that are affected, and pictures, if possible. Is the home new or just new to you? If so, is the landscaping new, as well? Any clues you can think of...irrigation cycles, type of soil, drainage, rainfall, etc. would be helpful....See MoreMy worms are sick and I don't know why - please help!
Comments (2)Hi Kath - Thank you for replying. Evidently they are New Zealand mud snails which are harmless to the worms except that they are extremely invasive and will reproduce my the thousand within a week or two. One of the people on another forum had them in her aquarium and she had to clean out her aquarium twice with scalding hot water to get rid of them. She had to boil her rocks, etc. as well. So I have to remove all of my worms and cocoons from the bedding and rinse them off with warm water and then place them in fresh new bedding after thoroughly cleaning my bin and trays with super hot water. The only best way to kill the snails is to drop them and their eggs in salt water. So I figure after I remove my worms and eggs I'll dump all of the bedding and compost into a bucket of salt water and then dispose of it. I hope my worms are just slow like yours. :P Maybe it's just the type I have - I have Indian Blues....See MoreI don't know why I'm in so much pain.
Comments (51)I'm thinking RA is more likely, though. I woke up with pain in my wrists this morning, and I learned that the weird taste I've had in my mouth on and off for weeks could be an RA symptom, too I never had any taste symptoms, only bouts of extreme pain and stiffness, accompanied by severe swelling. The swelling comes from the immune system attacking the joint. Never chills with a flare. RA flares are so painful, it overwhelms. My first flares were in the shoulder....family Dr said it was probably Bursitis. This went on for years. When I finally got a DR to order a test for RF, it came back at 2300. Any idiot can diagnose that one, and I finally got treatment. I had a bad flare while out of town...wrist swelled up so bad, ER first thought it was broken. In fact, had a flare a couple of months ago, and even though I said it was a flare...insisted on an Xray. Only thing that can calm a bad flare for me is a shot of Demerol, and these days they are years apart. Now, with RA, morning joint stiffness is normal. When I get up in the morning, I have to pull myself on my feet by holding onto bureau, and the first few steps are excruciating. And my RA is under control :)...See MoreMy tiny plant is dying and I don't know why!
Comments (52)Another plant death has fallen upon my household. This time it was my precious little plant that has been miraculously been growing well for almost half a year. The day before yesterday it just suddenly started wilting and the bottom of its stem started turning brown and woody, and now today I've noticed that the water under it's self watering pot has stop going down. Another death to my hands... and I was so proud of this one. Its the highest plant I've ever grown and now it's just dying before my eyes. I don't think I can save this one. I'm gonna miss u planty ;_;...See MoreUser

6 years agoHey everyone, thanks so much for your replies. Some of them gave me a chuckle, I'm an importer annnnnnd and exporter.
Tiffany, purpleinopp:
Yes, same soil, was thinking of repotting when I started to notice the leaf curl. I've been waiting on it to recover, thinking more sun would help, but alas there's only been a worsening of the leaf curl. It receives a decent, not an ideal amount of sun each day. Direct sun for approx 4hr and then some spotted sun the rest of the day. I've been acclimatising it to the outdoors so it's given a boost of sunshine. This hasn't worked though.

You got it, thanks for letting me know. I appreciate it.

Below is a photo, it's very dry now. I always let it dry out 100% before I water with water from my dehydrator.
If anyone needs more details please let me know, thanks so much! I'll post in cactus area and see if anyone there can help. Thanks guys.
