Brown/yellow leaves? Please help

12 years ago

Some of the leaves on our trees have gone yellow and brown, can anyone help with what this is from and how to fix it? After them doing ok for awhile with no/minimal water they got some yellow patches so I watered them with no change then watered with seasol no change. Appreciate any help/advice I can get. The previous home owners planted them and there's no drainage and getting to the soil is pretty difficult to do. Thanks in advance.

looks like an indoor houseplant.. not a tree ... might want to try that forum ....

one thing for sure.. no plant holds its leaves forever.. just about annually.. leaves are shed...

not the best pix.. but it looks like its the lowest.. OLDEST leaves... and its probably time to cut them off... note how just below them.. you can see the scars from previous removal ...

i would cut them about an inch out .. and the the plant will probably shed the stub .. better than ripping them off and doing more damage ...

with the sun shining thru.. i can not tell if the rest is properly watered ...

double check me in the houseplant forum

It's Yucca elephantipes, but not clear if you are growing it in a container or planted outside. It looks like a water issue.

This plant may tolerate drought but it also needs watering, but NEEDS drainage too. So, not sure if you are drowning it or dehydrating it. Not sure if posting on the houseplant forum is gonna help unless you provide more details. Virtually nothing will grow without drainage.
