I just got something similar to this plant too! The friendly forums ID-ed it as a moss fern, but there's a couple of different kinds of moss ferns... Anyway, it was so pretty, and it was right next to lime dracaena on display at the store. I had the dracaena http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/800/ at home already, but didn't have a container buddy for it yet. The dracaena has been really happy and growing in a corner window that gets some NE sun. So I figured I'd pot them to be happy together in the not-so-sunny window.

Re-potting the fern was a little harrowing for a second, because I was expecting there to be more root structure in the potting medium. It was potted in a superfine coir-like stuff, and the plant had superfine roots. Instead of ripping the whole plant in half as I thought I would, I ended up just spreading it to fill the front part of the pot, and stuck the dracaena behind it.
