Plant Identification

Don't profess to now anything about plants other than the ones I put on my plate. Got a neighbour to cut this thing back quite a few months ago, and now find it's got lots of nice looking "shoots" appearing, so dug one up and stuck it in a pot. Have absolutely no idea what it is. Help requested, please.

Unless it's edible it's a weed.

Thanks Sise. Apparently there are forty odd varieties of Dracena. Not sure which one I've got. Interesting fact; Dracena was quite high up in NASA's list of air cleaning plants for use in space stations etc., and is widely used in commercial premises for that same reason.

When they flower (rarely) the perfume is almost overpowering but will keep your pad smelling nicely better than an air wick thingy.

Following on from the clue from Sise, determined it's a Dracaena Janet Craig. Dug up a sizable stem/cane and potted it for inside. Looks nice.
