    Hi guys,

    This is my second post to the forums.

    I have inherited a plant which I am not entirely sure what it is... From my own research it looks like some species related to the spider plant however I am not entirely sure it is a spider plant.

    ALSO, as you can see in the image, the right side is healthy whereas the left side is somewhat dying, I think. The leaves are curled and droopy. I figure that identifying the plant could help me in doing research so the plant will not die under my care!

    Any help or tips will be appreciated!! Thank you! :)

    Be sure that the pot has drainage, and WATER THOROUGHLY.

    This plant looks to be a Dracaena.
    Put this one and the one in your other post in the tub, or outside. With hose or shower, gently water till ALL of this bone-dry-appearing soil is well saturated.

    Both plants seem to be feeling the effects of lack of moisture, but they look to be salvageable...if you act now.

    I added 6 cups of tepid water to the plant. It is outside in the pot. Should I remove any of the stubs from the left? Or will it not grow back?

    Is it possible to take new growth parts and replant them in the same pot so that it has new stems?

    Looks like Dracaena reflexa 'Anita'.
