Those are 3 pictures of the tree, tree trunk, and tree leaves.
It would be about 3 feet tall if it were standing up. I want to know if it will stand up better if I trim it back.

It's a "Yucca Palm".. and they can be cut back to grown thicker or strung up. It looks like this one didn't have enough direct sunshine and got spindly on you. Cut some of it back, never more then 1/3 at a time. Keep it in full sunshine and rather dry, but not parched. Feed it. I had one that grew 10 feet high and withstood years of children. Moving to a less sunny home killed it however after 10 years :-( Good luck with yours.

It's a type of palm tree. I have one that I'm getting ready to transplant. I have it staked. There's another one in somebody else's office that is also staked. I keep it about 6 feet from the window, so no direct sunlight, and good soil. I would suggest a taller stake that will help it stand upright and then as the trunk gets thicker it will help stand upright on it's on.

I can not for the life of remember the name of the plant but it is very common down here in south Texas. from the pic it looks like the stems are getting very bendable and that is not good, put it outside or closer to the windows. you should be able to clip a branch of and stick it in the pot to reroot itself

Dracena marginata.......boy, it needs light and a good cutting back. Problem is it is weak and may not withstand cutting back too much. Still I'd whack it back and if it didn't make it, start again with a better plant.

it truly is a user-friendly Juniper, probable Juniperus horizontalis. Juniper as a classification choose issues warm, sunny, and dry. those are actual shrubs and are time-honored Bonsai options at markets and nurseries. they are maximum generally killed by using overwatering.
