The plant provided is a Yucca gloriosa, also known as a Spanish dagger or Yuca plant. It is a species of flowering plant in the agave family and is native to Mexico. The plant appears to be in good health, with green leaves that are well-spaced and not wilted or discolored. The stems are thick and sturdy, indicating a healthy root system. Advice for fixing the plant: 1. Make sure to provide enough sunlight to the plant. Yucca gloriosa prefers full sun to partial shade. 2. Water the plant thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot and fungal diseases. 3. Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer in the spring and summer months. 4. Prune the plant if necessary to remove any dead or damaged leaves or stems. 5. repot the plant in well-draining soil if the current soil is poorly draining. 6. Provide proper drainage, as yuccas don't like to sit in waterlogged soil. 7. Move the plant to a location with bright indirect light if it is not getting enough light. 8. Provide the plant with adequate air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. 9

Add some coffee ground, a circle round the main root once every 3-4 weeks. Or banana peel water 2-3 times a week max. (leave a banana peel in water for 2-3 days) for nutrtional value. But not too much of any, you can get away with the peels more because their lower dosage.

Remember to ensure good drainage of pot and tray at all times and always soil test to then gage/schedule how quickly your plant needs more water. If dry, water all the soil and drain the excess from pot and tray at all times. If wet/damp leave it alone! Keep near the window sunny/warm. Good luck!

How bigs the pot it sits in?
