Plant looks sad, what to do

[Notthebestgaradener]

Hello

I have a plant that looks sad and I'm not sure what to do with it

I have attached some photos

I have now moved it into the sun to try and cheer it up a bit

But basically does anyone know

Should I remove the heads and if I did will they regrow (any idea how long this would take)

Should I try and prop the heads up on a big stick in the hope that the sun will make them strong again

Or Is it basically a dead plant ☘️

Be hard to comment until they are approved

Also I have lots of ground coffee beans, should I be putting some of those in the pot as well?

Is it a type of dragon tree? If it is then it needs bright, indirect light. It also needs to be not be too wet or the roots will rot. If it's a dragon tree they don't mind being slightly root bound but it might benefit from a slightly bigger pot and some fresh compost with good drainage.

Take it out the pot and have a look at the roots. Put it in a really bright room but not on the windowsill. You can cut the heads off apparently but it might take months to regrow, you could try cutting oof the most droopy one and leaving the other.

It looks like it hasn't been getting enough light and might have been overwatered? I wouldn't cut the heads off when its weak, wait for it to start looking healthier and then trim them.

Too much water or not enough sun is usually the cause of a sad looking yucca. Let it dry entirely between waterings.
Maybe you could try feeding it (with cactus food, not coffee beans!). And when we get hot spell, if you have a garden, put it outside for a few weeks.

It's been in the corner all winter away from the window, I moved it in front of the window a few days back as thought it needed the sun

No. Absolutely not. Caffeine has a detrimental effect on plants and suppresses their growth.

I've not put any coffee beans in yet, I will try the cactus idea instead

Looks like a Yucca, It has probably been over watered, and depending how old it is and how long it's been in that pot it may need feeding. So, you could try repotting it with fresh compost. If that doesn't do it, you could try trimming off the spindly weak looking branches then leave it to grow newer stronger ones.

I keep my yucca near a sunny window, and put it outside in the summer.
I’d strip off those dead leaves, they’re doing nothing for it. As others have said, see how its roots look.

re watering it doesn't want overwatering in winter, I give mine a good soaking when it feels dry and light but let it drain well, don’t have any water standing in the saucer or cache pot.

I think the advice I’ve heard on gardeners question time is to not feed houseplants if they’re looking stressed. If the roots are poorly I don’t think you would want to encourage too much too growth.
