    I recently bougt a house, and this plant was left in the front room, away from the windows. I did not get a chance to ask the sellers what it was or how to take care of it, but when we moved it closer to the window and tried watering it once or twice a day, it has started to wilt. It stands about 4-5ft tall, and has very small yellow flowers on it, as can be seen in th photo. Sorry the photo are sideways. Thank you all in advance.

    Golly---it sure is leggy and lonesome-looking! Appears as if it could benefit from maybe more light and a good repotting.
