    Hi, this plant started growing months after I got my Dracenia. The leaves "sleep" at night, and the flowers are white with a green stripe around. Any ideas?? Thanks.

    Its a Phyllanthus. Its a weedy shrub that is easily controllable when it is still small. The self-fertile flowers produce fruit that will hurl the seeds and can spread to your other plants and elswewhere.

    BTW, its spelled Dracaena.
