The tips of Yucca leaves turning brown can be a sign of several problems. One possible cause is underwatering, as dry soil can cause the tips of leaves to dry out and turn brown. Overfertilization can also lead to brown tips, as excess salts in the soil can damage the plant. Additionally, exposure to cold temperatures or drafts can cause leaf tip burn.
To address brown tips on Yucca leaves, make sure the plant is getting enough water without being overwatered. Avoid overfertilization by following the instructions on the fertiliser package and flushing the soil periodically to remove excess salts. Protect the plant from cold temperatures and drafts by keeping it in a warm, stable environment.
