    Please help me identify this plant. I've had it for some time now and don't remember where I got it. Could've been Wal-Mart but it's irrelevant at this point. It keeps getting taller and taller but doesn't get any thicker at the base so I'm worried it might just get too top heavy and snap off someday. I recently have begun to give all my house plants plant food. I just never did because I didn't realize what a difference it makes! I'm pretty sure that in time this plant should get thicker after proper nutrition is given. I'm just curious as to what it is. I want to repot it and plant it deeper into the dirt which should help a little bit. I may also add a dowel to tie it to for more support. Thanks so much for any info!

    Looks like Dracaena fragrans 'Compacta'.
