| Hi, I impulsed this at the grocery store today, but I don't know what it is. The tag says "foliage" which is super-unhelpful. Can anyone tell me what this is? (Apologies that it's sideways. I can't figure out how to rotate it.) |

| Looks like a cordyline (aka Ti plant) to me. |
RE: ID this plant? It's leafy with pink edges.

| Yes, that is a cordyline/Ti plant, not sure exactly which Cordyline, but it's in that family. One of my local stores that I buy plants at gets in shipments of them every now and then with ones that are all bright pink to almost red, and I think they are so beautiful... but they are a pretty good size plant and require bright light and I just don't have room for bigger plants that require that much light. I think i'm up to my capacity of large plants that require bright lights for the moment... Anyways, very nice plant, I have no experience to share but it's a common house plant that should be easy to find information on. -FPT |

| Cordyline or Dracaena, both related. |

| It is a Cordyline, not a Dracaena. They grow easy from cuttings and there's a large range of coloured cultivars available, broad and narrower leaves. Kept too much in the shade they tend to become more green. They need moisture but not too wet. |

| So these can get pretty big? The ones I got yesterday are very little, two stalks in a 2 inch cube. How quickly do they grow? |
