it’s a dragon tail rhaphidodora!

Is it just very juvenile ? The woman I bought it from said she’s had this for 2 years and has just cut from it

that’s pretty much how big they get if they are indoor, but they can get much bigger with tons of light and humidity

You can make them climb if you want also. (See the blue pot)

I was thinking it was a dragon tail as well but I was going to ask if you could post a photo of a single stem and leaf.
