It certainly looks like a yucca and if so it definitely should not shed its leaves. They dont look particularly yellow from the picture you have posted so it doesn't look as if it has been over-watered. Have you moved it recently? If so it just might not like its new location. If it was flourishing before, move it back to where it was. Bear in mind It wont like being in a draught either! If it continues to lose its leaves, there is nothing you can do - get rid and get a new one taking care where you place it. Good luck from Ladywoman!

Oh! Poor pathetic plant! Looks like a Yukka, thats been starved of light and maybe overwatered. It likes a light position and allow the compost to semi dry out defore watering. Move to a suitable position and see how it responds over a few months ....... if you can stand looking at it for that long!

As well as the above the pot looks a bit too large for the plant to me, have you recently repotted it? This could mean it's been too wet for too long.
There's also a chance that some bug has got into the compost & the larvae have been chomping the roots.
Maybe you could carefully tap it out of it's pot...if the soil falls away put it into fresh compost in a slightly smaller pot & hope for the best!

It is a Dracaena not a Yucca and it looks to me like it has been over watered and this has caused the stems to rot.
My guess is the pot you have it in does not have any drainage holes in the bottom?

It's chances are slim but it may survive with some tlc.

Never has so much been written for such a pathetic specimen! Looking a little closer at the pickie, you could well be right h/wlk. Either way, it requires similar care to the Yukka.

haha, you sound like my sister bigbus...she buys houseplants for 10p from 'casualty corner' & sees it as a challenge to nurse them back to health! :o)

[bigbus]

lol Robinia wish your sister was here she could have a go at my plant although i think its cards are marked!

In your first pic. it looks as though it is situated near a window which has got frost on it ,Dracenas won't like that.As everyone else says looks like over-watering as well - killing it with kindness (as I often do ! )they like to be warm. Good luck with it .
