Hi,

It’s a dracaena of some kind, maybe marginata if it has color around the edges. :) the care is pretty similar for all of them regardless. You can try notching it to get it to grow lower down on the branch

Thank you!

i second the dracaena marginata! i have a little one, about 1ft, and a big one, about 7ft. they are a little leggy but this one looks like it needs more light. they're pretty low maintenance and like bright indirect light.
