Hi all

I lost my sister last year and now have a yucca of hers

The plant did very well in her place but by the time i got it, the growth
off the main stumps had gone very leggy and curved down very much

I tried to use "splints" to straighten it
but to no avail.

When she had it, the growth off the main stumps
was bushy and short, now they are bushy at the end of
three foot long bare branches, as they get longer the
leaves die off.

Is this just the plant aging or is there something wrong
I dont know if this is normal,
Can I straighten it?

If I cut back the shoots (like a pruning)
Will it grow back?

What the best soil mix, i may re-pot it as well

As you can imagine, it is v. importatnt to me that this plant does well

any tips welcome

Regards
