I suspect that like most plants, less is more. What I mean is, don't water them every day and don't let their pots sit in a saucer of water. I find yucca are very hardy. Try watering your yuccas once a week and see how they fare. If they start looking less green, maybe heading towards yellow, feel the pots. Too heavy with wet compost? Reduce watering. Compost shrinking away from the pot sides? Water a little more often, but reduce the quantity of water per watering session. If your yuccas are neither over watered nor underwatered, but still yellow, add a little soluble iron to the water.
Hope this helps.
