I believe it’s a Florida green narrow form in absolute desperate need of sunlight but I could be wrong!

Oh ok thank you , it came like this though and I haven’t done it under a grow light.

It just needs to be put near a window or some grow lights. Wherever you got it from wasn’t giving her enough. Personally I’d chop it and propagate but you could also just try to stake the leaves up so it’s not so sad looking

Also check the root ball if it’s looking like there’s more roots than soil I’d recommend repotting

Thank you so much , will definitely check that and hopefully get it to look better and happier. X
