    I brought this home from a funeral. It was in an arrangement with several other starter plants. I don't know what it is, how to take care of it, or how big it will get.

    Btw, does anyone know where to get good house plant pots at reasonable prices?

    looks like Dracaena marginata from here. A quick google search will give you tons of info.

    shadygirl,

    There are many good places to get houseplants, Walmart, Lowes, Home Depot, grocery stores, etc...

    Here's a few online sources you can try,

    www.accentsforhomeandgarden.com

    www.plantdelights.com

    www.kartuz.com

    www.worldplants.com



    Your Dracaena can reach the ceiling, but that will take a while so I wouldn't worry about it too much now, anyway, you can always cut it back and new growth with form at the cuts. You can also plant the stems you cut.
    Let it dry between waterings. Bright indirect light.
