I have some indoors plants obtained from an office and 1 of them is struggling in my house, my only issue is I don't know how to care for it as I don't know what it is, I want to save it before it's too late!
is the plant, it used to live in the lounge but it appears to not like it, I've since moved it to the kitchen but it's not been there long enough to see any change, have any of you got any idea what kind of plant it is? So I can go see how about how best caring for it!
Cheers
PS, it's not beeb over watered, only gets watered every 2 weeks.

Exactly, it's a Dracaena Marginata (dunno whether it has an english name), usually a strong and uncomplicated plant, we have two large ones.
What's wrong with yours ?

Is it loosing too many leaves then, for a long period ? Because this is normal to a certain extend, they loose the oldest, lower leaves.

could be not enough sunlight and too cold, Marginata is more sensitive for worse conditions
is anything wrong with leaves - any spots or cobweb?

seems to be any leaf, doesn't seem to matter on age etc, I've moved it to a more well lit area so will see how it goes, no spots or cobwebs, I clean the leaves every now and then.
Thanks for all your help guys.
