I would like to know what plant this is so that I can care for it properly. It's just recovered from an infection but looks spindly. I would like to propagate it and help it flourish. Thanks, Ramneek
Attempting to find name to determine if poisonous to dogs.
This is a Dracaena Marginata.
This plant is listed by the ASPCA as toxic to dogs and cats.
If your dog as ingested this plant consult your veterinarian.
I have an Dracaena anita that is tipping from being too top heavy. Can I trim it safely?
Yes, you can top prune the plant.

Can you grow it outside in the summer?
The stem of my Dracaena is becoming black. What's wrong with it?
Do you have any yellowing on the leaves prior to the stem color issues?
Soil should be moist but never soggy. Root rot may be the issue with your plant.
Always check the soil before watering and make sure the pot is draining away any excess water.
If the Root Rot is extensive, you plant may not recover. If the plant lifts easily from the soil, it has rotted. You will want to discard your plant and perhaps try again.
Also salts can build up in the soil and harm the leaves and the plant. Generally you would see the tips of leaves turning dark or black.
Using distilled water for watering will generally help with this condition.

The stem of my Dracaena is becoming black. What's wrong with it? Am I doing something wrong?
Generally the leaves of the plant will show signs of distress before it reaches the stem of the plant.
Do much direct light can cause the leaf tips to turn black.
Your Dracaena needs evenly moist soil but never soggy. If the roots sit in soggy, poorly draining soil they can suffer root rot. The leaves may turn brown or black and if the condition is not corrected, the stem may darken and die off.
Salts for conditioned water or excess fertilizer can build up and harm the plant.
Your plant could also be suffering from a fungus called Fusarium leaf wilt.
Applying a soil fungicide treatment can help.
Make sure you do not wet the leaves when you are watering.

This is how my Dracaena has become. I have owned this plant for about 8 weeks and recently I have changed the pot to a bigger one. The stem has become black right after the re potting. So what did I do wrong and can I save this plant or there's no going back now? Thank You for your help.
This may be overwatering and your plant suffering from root rot.
It's difficult to judge the size of the pot and the plant size from the angle, but suspect it is too large for the root system.
Make sure you are checking the soil before watering, and that the excess water is able to drain.
In this case I would suggest you carefully remove the plant and discard the blackened stem from the plant. Inspect the rest of the roots and trim any dead or black roots with a clean garden snips.
Repot into an appropriate pot size. The roots should be snug with a little extra room.
