Hi Everyone -

I found what I believe to be a Dracaena on my block this weekend - with a 'Free household plants' sign, so I grabbed it. I have no idea how long it was outside for, but I would assume at least 3 or 4 days in about 50 degree Fahrenheit.

It has two stalks, one is about 3 ft and the other is about 8 feet. Very tough feeling.

However, the leaves are all a bit droopy - with roughly 15% of them a crinkled up dark green color. A good amount of the leaves also look a bit wrinkly.

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to make it adjust properly. Should I just give it some time? Does it look over or under watered? The soil did feel wet as an FYI.

Also - is it a Dracaena? (I'm new to this)
