I'm trying to save a plant from the abandoned office next to mine. I don't think my mission has been very successful. I researched and think it's a Drac. Lisa? When I was about to throw my arms up and admit defeat, I noticed a little guy growing at the bottom. what can i do to save this new guy? I really have no clue as to what to do here, please help!

LIGHT: Place in high light (full sun) in winter and medium (bright indirect) light the rest of the year. Tolerates low light.
WATER: Allow soil to dry between thorough waterings. Mist daily in warm seasons, more often in hot weather, and never in cool weather. Increased humidity prevents brown leaf tips.
TEMPERATURE: Maintain high temperatures in day for best growth. Average temperatures OK.


Comments:
Pot up in spring if needed. Feed every 14 days during active growth. Clean leaves monthly.

Thank you for the help, but I'm wondering what I should do with the smaller plant growing from the pot it shares with the big one that is now dead. Should I cut the big one out or can I somehow remove the smaller plant to re-pot? I have no idea what to do with the little guy! Any advice? Thanks again

If the bigger part is dead, then cut it out and leave the smaller plant.
