its not a hosta .... of that i am sure.. ken

Yes, and I am as sure as Ken. Not a Hosta.

I'm with Floral...

Most likely a dwarf form of Dracaena fruticosa, or possibly fragrans

It's in 4" pot I think. Not bigger.

Without being able to inspect the anatomy more closely, I suspect it's a cultivar of Cordyline fruticosa.

Looking over at Cordyline fruticosa and Dracaena fruticosa, both look similar but their leaves are too long and not like the above picture.

Was suggested Callisia fragrans. But also has longer leaves.

All the suggestions said something along the lines of ‘cultivar’ or ‘dwarf form of’ ie not the run of the mill species or common cultivars so pictures may not show this particular one.

There is no information at all from the party displaying the plants? It looks like it is a retail setting.

Only thing that he has mentioned is that this is in Malaysia, he mentioned back a few that he thinks it's a 4" pot.

The OP hasn’t come back to us yet and we weren’t vouchsafed the location information. However, finding The original request, l see that Callisia fragrans was suggested there too.

This picture (right hand column, third one down - click to enlarge) has some similarity:

Otherwise most plant species are tropical, with the result that two examples encountered can even have look-alike plant bodies yet be completely unrelated. And it being seen in Malaysia plant asked about may not be familiar in western cultivation - perhaps not even present. But surely the vendor there has at least something to say about it, that might shed some light.

The way the tip of leaves fused before ends in some kind of minute
cone/horn resembles the tip of Compact type Dracaena. While Calissia
leave's tip usually just flat (if I'm not mistaken).

Currently there are so many new cultivar of Dracaena in south east asia, especially from Thailand.
I am leaning toward Dracaena (some new cultivar)

A type of variegated sansevieria?

I saw those pointy bits, too tofi. That’s what made me sugggest Dracaena as a possibility in addition to something in the Commelinaceae. The growth habit doesn’t match Sansevieria and that genus was rejected over on the specialist Sans forum.

We are looking at well grown baby plants. Would love to see a more mature plant. But we only got that picture to go by.

try using the SmartPlant app, I used it and its really helpful

Don't tease and keep us in suspense, Josephbyrne2, what did the ap say for the plant in question?

I'm convinced it's not C. fragrans.

Cordyline & Dracaena are synonymous for many species, it's changing too fast for me to keep up with, and hundreds, maybe thousands of cultivars. Looks like a cadre of freshly planted cuttings of this realm to me, a woody entity, not a ground cover like Sans, Hosta, or Callisia.

So I went ahead and threw the picture at SmartPlant. They just responded with a broad Dracaena sp.

From the email:Your experts comments:

Hi, this is a Dracaena. A compact horticultural cultivar OR made compact through hormone manipulation. But this is compact variegated Dracaena (probably D. fragrans) is not yet widely available.

Just got a few clue about this plant. I went to another garden center and they also sell these. The seller said it is some kind of money plant (not really sure about this but maybe what she meant is it is for luck). And I believe it's related to Chinese New Year. I strongly believe it is some kind of dracaena. Chinese like lucky bamboo so much for CNY. Maybe a new cultivar because another staff there said that it is the first time he sees this plant. Definitely not a sans because the leaves is soft not stiff.

I have to agree with all the above. Some kind of Dracaena. New to us.

Well OK, at least we sort of got a clue.

Thx Esal for coming back to share w/ us & ultimately for talking to the Vendors, stands to reason they'd have SOME info.

Thx Rob for trying the App too.

So at lest we're more agreed on what it's NOT, geez.

Hi Tiffany,

Hoping you'd see this, knew you'd know it's not our friend Callisia or Sans.

Nice plant, anyway.

"Money plant" is used for certain dracaena(s), there's another G. W. thread I read just recently where somebody does this.
