Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? (Me and my son called it Floris). This was my sons pet plant, he was quite attached to it. Also, is it normal for this kind of plant to just stop living? It was fine for a few years and then there was nothing I could do to stop it declining. I changed the soil, watered it properly and used plant food.

Thanks.
