I'll try to get a picture of it today and try to figure out how to upload a picture on here. I identified it by going to Lowes and seeing another one like it so I am not 100% positive what I have.

Ok, here is a picture of the plant in question. I hope I do this right.

Well since that one worked, here is a picture of one of the other plants that was in with it. It had broken off to just a stub but it is putting out leaves now. Any ideas as to what it is? Or is it too soon to tell?

Well for some reason, that one did not work. Let me try again.

Are the stems kinda ringed with brown from where a leaf fell off? It is the one on the left, correct?

The first picture and then the plant on the right in the 2nd picture are the same plant. Yes, there tend to be brown rings where I believe leaves were before they fell off. The plant on the left in the 2nd picture I have no idea what it is.
Hope this is clear lol

Looks like it could be a dieffenbachia though most I have seen have white on the leaves. The rings on the stems are the same though. Here is some info on the care.

Is the Plant in the first picture a Dracaena? And if I lop off the top do I root it in water or just put in in a pot of soil?
by Myrna on January 11, 2006 01:49 AM
well I know the first picture is a Song of India it is a Draceana. I have one of these at home myself.
They like to be on the dry side between waterings and like indirect sunlight. i have not tried cutting this one and just putting it in the soil but I have with other Dracaenas and they have spouted slightly below the where I cut it off at.
I have never tried to root it in water so i can not answer that question but I am sure that someone else will have more to add to what I have said. I myself am fairly new to house plants also. ![[muggs]](im/graemlins/mugggggs.gif)

Thanks Myrna, Glad to know what it is. I have cut off the top and put it in soil so we will see what happens.
