    What Kind Of Plant
    So, forgive me, I know very little about plants and I need help.

    The other day I was walking through the grocery store and I saw a plant that looked to be on its last legs (last roots maybe is a better way to say it). I felt bad for it for some reason so I bought it and put it in the office in my shop. I watered it and have it in front of one of the glass doors so it can get sunlight. It seems to be improving but I would like to try to keep it going so I need some help with its care.

    It looks like a mini palm tree and stands almost 3 feet tall. Don't know what it is because the only label on it said "Tropical".

    Anyone know what this is and how I should care for it?

    Photo might help a lot... mostly because I'm assuming not every tropical plant requires the same care.

    Yeah, I don't have a photo of it and can't get one until tomorrow. I was just hoping that it's something common that a person with a green thumb would know from the "mini palm tree" description.
