    Hi there,
    I bought this plant at an estate sale last spring and was told that the mother who owned it had been a traveler and grew this from a seed. So it could be from anywhere really. I am planning to re-pot it soon and would like to make sure I know what kind of plant it is so I can provide proper soil and such.

    One place (based on pictured) suggested it was a mature Janet Craig Draceana, but if you notice the way the leaves come off the stalk in a windmill style it implies to me that it is not a Janet Craig as their leaf pattern does not seem to structured.

    Any help would be fantastic! Thanks everyone!

    Regards,
    Kary

    Palms produce divided leaves.
