Can someone tell me what plant this is?  
It’s been trying so hard to survive, I’d like to at least know it’s name before I kill again

It sure looks like a fighter! I got nothing on the type, but believe it has potential to thrive one day with proper care! Good luck!

### Pothos\_whisperer commented on 2026-07-14

It looks like a Dracenea

#### Suzy’s Plant Babies replied on 2026-07-15

I agree

### Kobygawa commented on 2026-07-14

Maybe a ti leaf or corn plant?

### Cheryl commented on 2026-07-14

Corn plant or Dracena. KC it with plants and it will tell you.

### Alex commented on 2026-07-15

It looks like my Compacta Dracaena.

Thank you everyone!!!!!!  
A family friend gave me this plant after my brother died in the early days of the pandemic - I’m not a plant person but I really want this guy to not follow suit.
