That is not a palm. I think it is a Dracena marginata. Dracenas are a genus of succulent shrubs. I have a huge one growing outside my door in FL. Where do you live? If you are outside S FL, you will have to bring it indoors if temps fall to freezing. They are damaged/killed by frost or freezes. Otherwise, they can take heat, humidity and sun. They tend to drop a lot of leaves so are somewhat messy. Eventually they form tall, skinny gray stems with topknots of leaves. If cold-damaged, they drop even more leaves. As succulents, they are drought-tolerant. Their stems are somewhat brittle but they sucker profusely.

Welcome to PalmTalk. Do you have any palms?

Thank you! I am in Central Texas. It seems that mine wants to drink a lot. Since I have it by a sunny window I thought may not like the sun as much since the leaves are always kind of droopy.

I have seen pictures of the Dracena. Am I supposed to take off the leaves that are drooping? Most of the pics the leaves are completely straight up with all the hanging leaves off.

Droopy leaves are OK. Dracaenas are what you call "self cleaning" so no worries, except for the occasional yellowy leaf which can be pulled.
