# Anyone know what plant this is? I think it may be a corn plant or…

_Posted by Charlie✨ on 2024-05-12_

Anyone know what plant this is? I think it may be a corn plant or dracaena fragrans because that’s what my plant identifier says, but I never really trust those things. Also does it look healthy? I’m new to these types of plants I’m more of a succulent gal. Sorry about the weird lighting!

Oh my gosh I literally rescued this same plant from Walmart and I’m not sure what he is either! The tag just said assorted foliage 🥲

Mine says tropical houseplants 🤦‍♀️ why Walmart

### Jbear13 commented on 2024-05-12

lol literally why! Here is mine. They look very similar in my opinion! I believe the yellow leaves are meant to be green when healthy

There are different varieties with the green and yellow highlighter markings. This variety is Dracaena Lemon Lime. The yellow is supposed to be this color in this variety. The Dracaena Deremensis Lemon Surprise has more green in the yellow color.

Oooh this gives me so much hope. I was worried that most leaves were yellow due to overwatering at the store! Thank you!

Definitely looks like a snake plant to me (sansiveria) ? That’s my guess, exactly what species though I have no idea. Pretty foliage though!

Lemon lime dracaena. I have the same plant. Got from a greenhouse and it was labeled

### Dondoo52 commented on 2024-05-12

I have had that plant before and I agree it is a lemon lime dracaena. At the time I didn’t know they were sensitive to chemicals in the water and mine didn’t survive. My current dracaena’s do well in indirect sunlight and I use a water conditioner. Some use distilled water but this works for me. I wish all of you a happy, healthy plant!

Looks very much like a dracaena fragrans. I’m not sure, but I think that could be just another name for the commonly named corn plant. I’m not positive. I have the same plant, and it got left in my car during a move and he’s had a bit of a setback, but he’s looking better.  
I was told to trim the burned looking part off of the leaves. It seems to be recovering
