What Is This Houseplant? tall Dracaena looking plantI rescued this plant. I think it is a Dracaena, perhaps a corn plant? Information on its identity and care would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I believe yours is in the corn plant family but better known as Dracaena fragrans.
Most of the popular plants in the corn/Dracaena families have variegated leaves but the Dracaena fragrans can also have dark green leaves.

here is a quote from one master gardener:
Dracaena fragrans, commonly called Corn Plant and Cornstalk Dracaena, can get quite tall in nature, 25 to 30 feet or more, but it is a slow-growing plant, making it very popular as an office plant or houseplant. Cornstalk Dracaena has glossy, broad, green leaves with an erect to spreading habit; larger leaves cause the plant to have a drooping appearance. The plant does well in a broad range of conditions from full sun to low-light situations. If you are fortunate enough to see your plant in bloom, you will surely enjoy the fragrance!

You have a very nice healthy looking plant - check out this site as I believe this may be the same plant:

It is a corn plant. They like indirect light and are easy to grow, just don't over water it-make sure the soil in the pot has good drainage. It likes warm temps and humidity, as it is actually a tropical plant.

It can get up to 6 feet tall. Its Latin name is Dracaena fragrans 'Massangeana'

Thank you. The plant is in a corner, near but not at windows. Hope that will work.

It is a Dracaena, I have one under a skylight and grows to 9 feet tall now. It blooms once every year, a stem about 1.5 to 2 feet long would grow out from top of the tree each summer, along this stem has no leaves, but full of clusters of small white flowers buds like the Jasmine flowers, they have very strong fragrance, flowers open in days and close at nights, this blooming cycles would last about 2-3 weeks before all flowers turn brownish and fall off, then it is time to trim off this flowering stem.

My plant does not receive any sunlight from skylight, but it keeps growing each year towards the skylight and is a very healthy plant. It has a total of two separate 9' tall stems and a tiny short one out of the soil in the same pot, I call them the "parents and child plant" !
