YUCCA NEEDS HELP!! :(
I have had this Yucca for 2 years, but it was about the same size ever since I bought it, so it’s definitely 3 or older. It has been absolutely thriving at my home in Missouri, but I just moved to Las Vegas, and it wouldn’t fit it my car so it was in the moving truck :( I am guessing due to the 24-28 hours of darkness and heat, it now looks awful! What can I do?? It wasn’t a super long trip, so I didn’t expect this, but I am so sad.
I don’t know if I can or should put it outside since it’s so hot (~105-100 degrees currently), but I don’t get much light in my house. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Im stuck on what to do, its looking alright though…
After overwatering, and the soil being no where near well-draining, the I took the rubber plant out and found out it has some root rot… so I trimmed it, added cinnamon everywhere, and repotted it into new soil with hydrokorrels and perlite. It never had yellow leaves or any symptoms so I couldn’t monitor it, but on things is that it’s not been growing, almost at all! And after 6 hours of repotting it into well draining soil, I can see the bottom leaves are slightly wilting (only bottom two- last picture) and that’s not normal as it’s always held up so strictly into its shape, whilst it’s not falling to the ground, it doesn’t look that good, is it possible it just needs some time to heal? Especially after I cut some of its roots…
And, the main reason I’m stressed is because I notched the plant incorrectly, it’s mature yet but I broke the top shoot (growing shoot) off and made a few cuts, it completely didn’t work but after over a month, the plant is almost not doing anything about it, help! Any ideas?

repotted after overwatering
After the plant being sick for some time, I decided to inspect it, and yes, the roots, some did rot! So I carefully cut them but noticed that some roots are really dark collared but not mushy at all, and all the stems aren’t either, so I left some, kept the plant in a dilute apple cider vinegar soak for 15 minutes, rinsed it out, then repotted it with new, well draining soil, and I made this by mixing the normal soil with perlite and Hydrokorrels, applied a layer of Hydrokorrels at the bottom, and some in the pot with the mix, and a layer at the top. So far, I am seeing improvement, speaking after about six hours of the whole repot but there wasn’t much sun in the room, so when I move it back tomorrow with the bright light, it expecting it to get better…
But most importantly, all the healthy leaves unfolded, it’s already improving!!
