# Howdy! I was gifted this for my graduation and would like to keep…

_Posted by Wannabe Green Thumb on 2026-05-11_

Howdy! I was gifted this for my graduation and would like to keep these plants alive regardless of if they remain in this pretty arrangement/pot. Does anyone have any advice for helping these species thrive?

Here’s my guess of what species are in the arrangement:  
\- Spathiphyllum wallisi (Peace Lily)  
\- Dracaena marginata ‘Magenta’ (Dragon Tree)  
\- Dracaena fragrans ‘Lemon Lime’ (Corn plant)  
\- Maranta leuconeura ‘Erythroneura’ (Prayer plant)

Assuming that I identified the species correctly, they all need medium watering levels and part sun according to Planta. The pot is ceramic with no drainage holes. The soil medium is comprised of a thin top layer of sphagnum moss and then what appears to be a chunkyish potting mix.
