Had this plant a while now but have no idea of what it's called. Looked on the internet until blue in the face. Comes from one main stem then branches out. As you can see, it's crammed between two planted fish tanks and I don't know the names of those plants either. 
Thanks peeps.

It's a Dracaena marginata (Dragon Tree Plant) and you have a lovely specimen there Carol.

YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you so much. It does look nice but doesn't seem to be doing much. At least nothing is dying on it.
Now I can read about it. Kudos!
Edited to add: This is another houseplant I have that looks more like Dracaena Marginata to me. This has reddish looking leaves and less leaves on the stalks. What ya think?

carol,
I think I have one of those but sadly don't know the name of it. It seems mine sometimes loses its bottom leaves but still keeps growing well on top and grows taller too.

Yea, it's one of those that drop the bottom leaves when new leaves appear on top. Believe it or not, one of the apartment dwellers here was moving and tossed this in the dumpster. It was a mess and just about dead when I went dumpster diving and rescued it.
Knowing when and how much to water and when and how much to fertilize can be a challenge. So many plants only want ferts once a year and others, monthly during the summer months. Guess a person should keep a notebook so they know what's up.
Love the flower in your avatar!

Carol
How efficient you are.
The fish tank flower probably gets humidity from the tanks ........And light...Smart you are..

Thanks carol
I love rescueing plants that others seem to throw away and don't want any more. Many I can do pretty good on which becomes a bonus. If not, well then atleast I tried.
