I thought it was a Dragon tree, dracaena.
I was just looking up a few things for the plant and relized this isnt exactly what my plant looks like.
I'm adding a few pictures of my plant.
Anyone know a way I can specifically tell which Dracaena plant this is... if it is a Dracaena at all?

2 things that's making me feel like it's not a Dracaena is how small my plant is. Also it's only 1 main trunk. It dose not separate. Its just 1 straight tree trunk like. . .
Ty everyone for your time.

Yes, that lovely plant is a Dragon Tree (Dracaena reflexa var. angustifolia) Like many other plants, D. marginata starts out as a small stemmed plant with a single trunk; branches are formed once the main stem has been pruned. New branches sprout just below the cut.

Small cutting that I rooted in water and a plant with new shoots sprouting below where the top of the plant broke during a storm:

LOL, I'm no expert by any means. Everything I've learned about growing indoor plants over the past 52 years has been by trial error with a lot of enjoyment and also times of great frustration! Green Grin! I've read and heeded a lot of advice that has worked and some that has not, I just had to learn what was best for my conditions. Smiling
