We've two yucca plants in our living room - one is thriving but the other is nearly ready for the bin. It's got white speck things on it, think they might be fungus or something...yuck!! anyhow nearly killed it about a year ago by over watering but it revived only to be covered in these white things.... Does anyone have any tips - only watering it occasionally, cause that's what it says on the label. Think I may have to invest in fake plants!!

if your yucca has a fungus, try :
moving it to an area of house that is dryer and warmer eg sun room. theory is that the fungus thrives in areas with high moisture...and

cut out any badly infected leaves shoots...and/or

you could also try some garden center type fungicide (eg ROSECLEAR)
