    Hi

    Could you help me by telling me what sort of plant this is. Once I know this I can look up how to care for it properly. I think it might be some sort of yucca but the pictures that I've found on the web don't look quite the same.

    It lives indoors during the winter months and we put it out late spring/summer. We have recently repotted it so I'm worried that it might have gotten a bit shocked. It is about 10 years old. It seems to have developed quite a lot of yellow/brown leaves (which subsequently drop off) - there's a lot of green left.

    Thanks in advance

    Sam

    It's a dracaena marginata. Likely the most common ID we do here. It is normal for the older leaves to brown and fall off.
