    Ive had this plant for 10 years and have no idea what it is. It does not flower.

    Looks like our old friend, Dracaena 'Janet Craig'.

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Dracaenas DO flower, but it takes 'em a while to do so. It is a sign that they are mature and happy (goals to which we all should aspire.)

    Thanks for the quick response. It looks like you are exactly right! Now I have some idea of what to do with it, lol.

    Hey, good luck to you and Janet both.
    Clearly you have been doing something right for the past 10 years---she looks pretty good. But: I suspect some (minor) moisture issues...leaf tips look dry.
    When did you last repot? And, is Janet living in a dry environment?

    Happy New Year!

    Looks like Dracaena fragrans (Compacta Group) 'Compacta'.

    I last repotted probably 3 years ago. I was prepared to repot again but after reading up on the plant I realized that im supposed to get a pot with a hole in it so the water can drain. The air in my place is pretty dry.
