    Hi there
    I bought this plant on sale at Lowe's the other day. It was on the clearance cart and was looking kind of pitiful. I felt sorry for it and wanted to save it. However, I cannot find out what kind of plant it is. I don't know how to take care of it. I have looked all around the net at pictures etc but have not had any luck coming up with anything that is close to it.
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me or share.
    Here is the URL to the picture I cannot figure out how to add it here sorry. I have tried to upload it.

    Looks like some sort of Dracena.

    Droopy is right it does look like a Dracaena or Dragon plant. I think it's probably Dracaena Sanderians. :stew2:

    I think it's a Pleomele, which is closely related to the dracenas. Think it might be a Pleomele reflexa variagata

    Hasn't Pleomele been absorbed into the genus Dracaena?
