I believe its a dracena.

Agree, one of the D. fragrans cultivars like 'Jade Jewel' and 'Warneckii'. How long have you had it?

probably the variegated one.. lol..

10 feet from a window is not a sufficient light source.. i suspect your plant will continue to decline..

the brown edge looks like a physical harm.. like someone knocked into.. or it fell.. etc ..

first.. look to the newest leaves for its current condition ..... if those are clean.. then whatever you are seeing happened long ago ... sometimes it just take a long time to show up ... so we want to be careful not to fix.. that which isnt broken ... dont olove a plant to its detriment ... or death ...

next.. all plants shed leaves.. its usually the oldest.. and in this plant.. the lowest.. we just snip those off as they decline ...

your worst leaf is not the oldest... and plants just dont get one sick leaf.. ergo.. we might suggest the injury suggested ...

brown tips can be improper watering.. perhaps our babe has outgrown the old pot.. it got to small.. so it doesnt have enough fresh media... to hold the water this plant needs .... this isnt something that can necessarily be solved by watering more.. if the roots take up the whole pot... i would probably tip the pot on its side ... .and pull the plant out and LOOK .. snap a pic.. and shove ti back in teh pot .... huge platns in small pots.. sometimes all that ends up in the pot is roots.. God knows where the media went ...

finally brown tips.. can just be snipped off with scissors.. just to make the plant LOOK better ..

lets see what those roots look like

Thanks all. I've had it probably six months. I don't think the plant ever suffered from any physical trauma, though we did move apartments about a month ago...maybe the move put some trauma on the plant. I can move the plant closer to a light source after I've reviewed the plant roots. I'll come back with pictures of the roots and consider a larger pot. I think in the posted photo you can see that it seems the new growth seem a healthier truer green growth.

Dracaenas are very sensitive to fluoride in tap or irrigation water and that sensitivity shows up as dried or browned leaf tips and leaf margins. Use distilled, filtered or rain water instead.

btw, this plant is quite happy in low light levels! 10' from a window should not be a defining factor with its viability.

Thank you @gardengal48 (PNW Z8/9). I live in Hoboken NJ, which I don't believe fluorides its tap. I do usually use tap water to water the plants, but I can start using filtered brita water if that makes more sense to water with.

Dracaena deremensis 'Warneckii'

Some armchair botanists have lumped this into D. fragrans, but both the molecular genetic work and biogeography show the validity of D. deremensis.

I totally agree with the water advice above, and would add go quite dry between waterings - especially in the winter. Do not water on a calendar schedule. Overwatering can cause or worsen brown tips.

I would not launch into repotting in fall, but wait until next spring.

I'll assume the armchair botanist thing wasn't a dig @ me. I don't partake in naming or renaming plants, which seems to make people so insane they're calling Sansevierias Dracaenas now, just trying to lead Reid to info about his plant.

Tiffany, no dig was intended or to be inferred.

You will see in my history I have consitently rejected lumping other species into D. fragrans, as some sites do.

But, I am still having hesitation in correcting anyone on the Sansevieria thing.

Understood, thank you very much. I'm against lumping too. There's nothing to be gained, just unnecessary confusion and wasted time. Instead of focusing on all of the interesting genetic info, people are spending time trying to find the difference between the plant they already had and a new one that looks just like it, which is impossible because they're the same and somebody is just screwing with the names. And wasting time discussing name changes instead of being able to focus on all of the fascinating things geneticists are discovering.

I will never call any Sansevieria a Dracaena. It's too ridiculous. I think "they" just did that to laugh at the people who go along with it. Like a twisted version of "Simon Says."
