    Can anyone help me in identifying this plant? I got it in Ikea a year ago and i just finally replanted it in a bigger pot but im not sure how to take care of it or what it likes regarding how much water and sun light? It has three-one-inch diameter brown stems with long flowing green leaves coming out of the tops of each stem. Kinda like a mini clump of palm trees. No flowers or fruit grow from it. The tallest stem is about 2 1/2 feet tall and the two shorter ones are about 12 inches and then about 6 inches. When i re-planted it, i noticed the roots were very claw like. Each stem empty'd out into a series of roots that resembles a claw. Please help if you can. Thanks a lot!

    Looks like Dracaena marginata, Madagascar Dragon Tree.

    Looks like it needs a bit more water and/or light
