Re: indentifying my palm

I think it might be a dracaena rather than a palm. They like to get quite dry in between waterings, and can take lots of sun all day, or somewhat less. Don't keep them too close to air conditioning. As they grow, they will continuously (over time) drop lower leaves, but it's normal, so they end up being lollipops, but it's their nature.

I agree it looks like dracena, definitely not a palm.
