This very sad plant wants to be identified so it stops dying. :-s Can anyone help me figure out what it is and how to care for it?
Thanks

I think it's a Dracaena, too; I've worked in two offices where very neglected Dracaenae
flourished under the terrible indoor lighting and very occasional watering. They seem to positively thrive on neglect.
Sunset's Western Garden Book recommends watering them only when the top 1/2 to 1 inch of container soil is DRY.

Those things are very hearty.
I had one growing in a large pot in my patio and it was very root bound so cut it down to a couple of inches above the dirt line and took it over to my GF's house to see if she could use the pot. She took the stump out, placed it in a larger pot and now that thing is a monster near her front door!
