Default ID of monocot pot plant

Can somebody help me identify this monocot pot plant?

I wonder whether it is a Pandanus.

Default ID of monocot pot plant

it is Dracaena deremensis (RUSCACEAE according to APG) however, since
these are variable plants in cultivation, there are issues... some
believe that they are formas-varieties-subspecies to Dracaena fragrans
(like the situation in Dieffembachia sanguine ARACEAE). There is also
a proposition to sink Dracaena into Sanseveria.

It looks to me like a variegated form of Dracena fragrans.
