    Hello!

    I just bought a "tropical plant" at Costco - it is really tall, has five different "plants" in it of varying hegihts. I am wondering what it is so I can care for it properly. The leaves are long and predominently green with length-wise white stripes. The stems are scaled, like a palm. It is over 4ft tall, and is currently in a 12inch pot, I am wondering about repotting it. I am also wondering if it is really meant to be kept indoors. Obviously, Costco wasn't much help. But it was cheap!

    Looks more like Dracaena deremensis 'Warneckii'.

    It's just my guess and not necessarily the correct one.

    Thanks to both of you - I looked up multiple pictures of the Warneckii and it seems as though this is what I have. Thanks so much for your help!
