    I'm a college student with no plant knowledge and a bit of a... black thumb :( , but I've managed to keep this plant alive for quite some time and I'm quite attached it it. The thing is, I have no idea what the heck it is. When I bought it, the tag simply read "Tropical Plants come in all shapes and sizes". So I know it's.. a um tropical plant, but what is it exactly?

    Thank you so much.

    it appears to be a banana croton, very easy to care for and it will eventually grow to be a large shrub with the right care.
