Is this baby OK???? it's looking a little brown on one of the green shoots...how often should this baby be watered?

I don't have this one, but Yuccas mostly need regular water in summer. They are not so much succulent as extremely deep-rooted. For a small one in a pot, I would recommend not letting it dry out during summer.

I agree,
Keep it watered just like you would flowers in a pot until you plant it in the ground.

The curled leaves also suggest it might be thirsty.

I raised several Yucca varieties from seeds. I learned from trial and error to place the pots in filtered shade.
They do not like pots. Once they get into ground, I never water them.
I have two in my garden, one at 6' and one at 7'. Mine grow 4 to 6 inches a year.
