Identification
Dracaena fragrans · Corn Plant
The plant shows the characteristic growth habit of Dracaena fragrans: a cane-like trunk with ringed leaf scars, terminal rosettes of long, strap-shaped, arching leaves with a prominent central rib, and variegated cultivar-type coloring (dark green with cream/yellow longitudinal stripes along the margins), consistent with a 'Massangeana' or similar striped cultivar. The thick, segmented stem and the way older lower leaves droop and eventually drop, leaving a bare cane, also matches D. fragrans. Similar species to rule out include Dracaena deremensis (narrower leaves, different variegation pattern) and Cordyline fruticosa (which has a more distinct petiole and often reddish leaf coloring), but the leaf width, striping, and cane structure here align best with D. fragrans. A closer photo of the leaf base/petiole attachment and any flower/inflorescence would help confirm the exact cultivar.
