I'm not even sure what type of plant it is. If you can figure it out, that would be just as helpful as letting me know how to care for it. It's a rather large plant, the leaves have very long stems about 1-2 ft long and the leaves are thin and pointy at the ends, all about 1 inch apart on each side of the stem.
It sort of looks like this except the leaves are attached to the stem but this is y/a so this is the best I could come up with.

How do I care for this plant?
Perhaps you have a "Sago" palm. Here are pictures of what it looks like: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im...
If it is a sago, which is a cycad actually: It is reported that sagos will grow faster in the landscape than as a container plant. For the most part, they are very easy to grow. Full sun or partial shade is ideal. As with most plants, good drainage is important. In addition, a neutral pH soil is best (6.5 to 7.0). It is good to fertilize on a regular basis during the growing season, which is generally March through September. A county agent once suggested if you are trying to really increase the size of the sago plant to use a palm fertilizer four times a year. That would be in March, May, July, and September. Some suggest to fertilize when the new growth emerges in the spring. Most sagos will only have one sprout of crowning - called a "break" per year. However, with extra fertilization there may be a second crown of fronds.
Reply:YOU COULD HAVE A YUCCA PLANT. DON'T OVERWATER IT. USUALLY WATER ONCE A WEEK. CAN HAVE DIRECT SUN.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PLANT.
Reply:Maybe a Kentia Palm, surely some kind of palm.
Bright indirect light, water when dry. Fertilize monthly in the spring %26amp; summer then lay off in the fall %26amp; winter.
Reply:It looks like some kind of palm, or a fern. Take a picture of it, and take it to your local nursery. They should be able to tell you what it is, or at least what family it belongs to, and then you could look it up online and get all the information about it you need. Good Luck.
