It looks like Dracaena fragrans, but it's definitely a Dracaena. If the leaves are more slender than D. fragrans, it's probably D. deremensis.

They like an even temperature, no draughts, and dislike a dry atmosphere. If this one was in the apartment before you were, it probably was subjected to fluctuating temperatures. I would think it would be good to repot it, maybe in the same size pot, but in good soil, trim off any dead brown bits, put it in a nice bright spot with no draughts, and see what happens. It doesn't look like it's going to die at this stage anyway, and it's amazing what tlc can do for a houseplant.

Thanks for the reply! It's currently outside on the balcony. It's pretty humid here, but the temperature fluctuates from 70-100F between night and day respectively. Should it come inside? I'm worried that it wont fit inside.

Another thought, the stalks tend to grow outward at an angle. Is there a way to stabilize it so that it grows upwards or is it alright if it grows in this fashion?

I see what you mean about the stalks growing at angles. I think it would fit indoors much better if it were more upright. I would like to check this, but I think if you were to select the trunk you like best and chop the others, then repot so the trunk is quite upright, and pot up the chopped-off pieces separately and vertically, you would probably have three nice plants eventually. I wonder what anyone else would suggest about this..I think it's fine growing outside at the moment, by the way, I didn't realise it was outside, but when the weather gets colder, a bright, humid, warm place would be the best.

Marguerite,

Welcome back!

Hi Marguerite and Cactus.

C. I looked at your three pictures. Do you have one or two Dracaenas??

Pic one is definately D. frangrans 'Corn Plant.' The trunk is a cane.
In picture two, your plant looks like D. 'Janet Craig.' The trunk looks different than the cane trunk in the first picture. Toni
