My grandma has this plant that seems to be looking a little sad. I don’t know the kind of plant that it is though, so I don’t know what the proper care is for it. She did say that it was just in regular dirt, so it could be due to that as well. If anyone knows how to help please share!

It’s a Chinese evergreen. Mine got that tall and I had to cut it down due to rot but it looked pretty good u could always replant it with fresh soil
