For context, I bought this plant a few months ago and had to prune quite a fair few of its leaves earlier.
It’s by a south facing window at a temperature of 19-20C. It gets a lot of sunlight which I’m worried has burnt some of the leaves. I also tend to water it once a week and also mist it.
What should I do to better take care of it such that it’s less droopy and leaves die less regularly?

My Yucca is utterly insane. She loves heat and doesn’t mind being thirsty but she’ll withstand literally anything. The main thing is that she loves heat. Absolutely thrives in the 90F degree weather. I live in Texas and she’s always been outside. She’s probably like 7 FT tall in a pot. I just pruned her way way way back and even cut off some of the limbs and replanted them and they all grew back. Even the stub I cut off is growing a little stem again.
I do not know if this is for all of them but I basically just let her be in the full sun outdoors in a pot and she thrives. Her pot has been so dry sometimes and she just keeps going. With her trim and new potting soil recently she’s exploded in growth even though she needs to stop now.
Mine started like yours in 2019 and this was her in 2024 while inside during a bad storm.

Water less often, once a month or so. Let it sit in dry soil for a few weeks between waterings
