      They all tend to have the same basic needs, which is lots of bright indirect light and to dry out completely between waterings

    I would say corn plant too. It reminds me of my own that I believe is a Lemon Lime! Dracaena Fragras(not sure of the spelling here) Lemon Lime. Here is mine, little Nandor. Rescued from the sad plant section at Walmart two weeks and a day ago now!

    I recommend putting it in a pot about 1/2 that size and add more perlite to the soil. It looks overwatered especially with the tips cut off. Only water when the soil dries and not by a dedicated schedule. It will take too long for that much soil to dry because the plant is too small to use up all the water. This leads to root rot. 🍀🪴

      So repot in a shower pot? And about a size or 2 smaller? I have pearlite.

      Sorry. I corrected the typo. I’m suggesting repotting to a pot about 1/2 the diameter of the current one.

    Pretty sure it’s a dracaena fragrans. I have the same one and it likes bright indirect light. It is also very toxic to pets, so beware of that if you have any furry friends!
