Hey all,

Just looking for some advice re a yukka plant in my apartment. It was there when we moved in and has grown a lot since. Its in a corner (the only place in our small apt it can go!) right beside the balcony door so its always grown at a slant towards the light. However its after getting very big recently and the branches are starting to twist towards the light, and am afriad its going to fall over with its own weight.
Whats the best way to deal with this - Repot the plant / tie back the branches... ?? Sorry if these questions sound stupid - not really an avid gardener!

Thanks...

It may actually need cutting back or at least a larger, heavier pot to prevent it tipping over.
If the plants tips are at eye-level, they can be quite dangerous due to their sharply pointed tips
I was involved in a thread on Yucca's a while back,have a look....
