What kind of tropical houseplant do I have?? How should I care for it??

I have another houseplant that was given to me. I know it is tropical but I'm not sure of the specific name for it. It has thick stems and medium sized leaves (about 6 to 8 inches). They are a darker color of green on the edges of the leaf, and a yellowish green on the inner part of the leaf. I'm wondering what kind of tropical plant this is, and if there is any kind of special care it needs. Anybody familiar with this type of plant???

sounds similar to family Dracena or family Ficus



Both require indirect lighting and moderate moisture
Reply:If it's possible (and the plant is small enough), try taking it to a garden specialty shop...it you can't do that, maybe take a leaf and take a picture of it on digital camera or cell phone so they can see it, but then have the leaf as a close up visual. :) ~Kendra Leigh Report It
Reply:I think (pardon my spelling) it's a spathphylum ( something to that effect.). Indirect sunlight. and plenty of water.
Reply:Could be a "corn plant" (Main stem is woody, about 3-4 inches in diameter. Care: regular watering (once a week) sparingly.
