Another id, and help needed!

So, as I walk aroudn my mother in-laws house. I keep noticing plants hiddedn away near windows. I found this one today and noticed how absolutely horrible it looks. I'm hoping I can revive it and keep it alive. If all her house plants die while she's away, I'll get yelled at, even if they're plants I neve even kew about. So.... I need help keeping this alive and giving it a better home around the house.

The vase was bone dry when I found it, so I quickly added some water. I'll clean it out and replace with clean fresh water once it perks back up.


(excuse the mess)

Just a guess, because it's hard to tell with it all wilty like it is, but possibly a Dracaena. One species is commonly called Corn Plant, and one is commonly called Lucky Bamboo. It could be either of those.

Yeah, I was thinking corn plant, but a very sad specimen of it... Corn plants are usually a very dark green. It's usually a good plant for low light conditions, but if yours perks up from being so wilted, I'd try fertilizing it.
