    Hey all!

    I really need to start buying plants with tags :) Find attached a picture of a grass plant I just recently bought. I think I'm giving it too much sun (with it near my south facing window exposure) and wanted to make sure I didn't hurt it before it was too late!

    It has green chutes that are edged in red.

    Thanks in advance!

    It does look like a dracena. Dracena do not like too much water and prefer bright conditions rather than low light conditions.

    Great thanks! I'll be sure not too over water it then, and since I have a south facing exposure on a high floor with lots of windows, I'm pretty sure anywhere in my condo should provide moderate to high light conditions.

    Thanks again!
