This plant was in a bouquet I was given for my birthday last October. It had started to form roots when I came to throw the rest away so I left these two in a vase of water. They are still going. Could anyone tell me what they are called. Thankyou.

Looks like one of the tradescantia's to me.

That's what came to my mind..Tradescantia..

It's a Dracaena, possibly deremensis or warneckii

Agree with badfish, definitely Dracaena, a houseplant that does not appreciate sunlight and does not like to dry out completely. Whether its Dracaena sanderiana, height 2-3 feet (once in a pot and full grown), width only about 1-1.5 feet, or Dracaena deremensis, I'm not 100% certain.

glad you were given the correct name,H.bird..when I looked at your photo again,I agree..it doesn't seem to have the trailing habit of Tradescantia..Nice to get some you can keep from your Bouquet..always an extra bonus :o)

sadly mine didn't root. Morrisons use it a lot in their bunches.

I'll have to take notice,Sbg,next time I buy one from there..or better still,if someone buys one for me :o) I do like their bunches of flowers,as well as their plants..I've just bought a White Potentilla from there :o)
