Your post doesn't show where you live but it's possible they aren't right for your growing zone???
These prefer to be planted directly in the ground where they should get the proper amount of water from whatever rain falls. They do appear to be pot bound from your pics.
You could take the pics back to the nursery for their opinion.
I agree with Robyn. The pictures seem to show them in their original pots, so I would re-pot them so the roots have room to grow to support the stems. I do not live in an area in which yucca would be native (New England) so I am really just basing my opinion on how some plants need a well developed root system to support the plant.
Because they want to be PLANTED and not stuck in pots!
Plants in pots lose all the nutrition in the soil quickly, unlike in the ground because of the water that runs through them, in essence they may be nutritionally deficient. Use Miracle grow water soluble fertilizer in the lower dose so you can feed it more frequently. You should always repot plants into another pot when they are purchased as the soil may already be close to depleted by the time you get it and may be pretty root bound already.
Don't water them too much, they like it on the dry side. Terri
They need to be planted in the ground or if you want them in pots the next size up with drainage holes and the proper soil
Yep, they need to be in the ground
