    I have looked everywhere on google for this. The plant, I got from PetCo, a local pet store and it had no label on it. It became too big for my terrarium so I put it in a pot, it's just eating me alive to know how to care for it. The tree I grew myself by cutting a piece out of a larger one that my grandmother had. The larger one was dying because it was way to tall and top heavy. I threw the larger plant out and just put the piece of stalk in some water, and, hey! Wow! It sprouted leaves! Could someone please identify these? Thank you.

    I certainly looks like Dracaena. Perhaps one of the variegated species of D. fragrans. Maybe someone with more experience with the genus can pin point it.

    Cheers, LPN.

    First one looks like Dracaena fragrans, second one looks like Dracaena deremensis 'Warneckii'.
