    It looks like a Dracanea of some sort.... water it a bit less and give it more light!

    i think it's the 'lemon-lime' draceana.

    agreed that it definitely needs more light!! let the soil dry out completely (down a couple inches) before watering it thoroughly. there should also be drainage holes in the bottom of the container so the excess can drain off.

    I agree with joclyn, Dracaena deremensis "Lemon and Lime"

    Correct name is Dracaena fragrans 'Lemon Lime'.

    Dracaena deremensis is now considered to be only a narrow leafed form of the widespread Dracaena fragrans.
