Thin bamboo like plant with mottled leaves

This plant has been surviving on its own for around 20 years. Given to me by my Mum who says it gets a cream, insignificant flower. Her's also has mottled leaves and she jokes that we both have diseased plant?

The longest stalk is around 10 feet tall and I've had a piece growing happly in water for weeks now, which has sprouted roots.

Good afternoon, it could be dracaena surculosa, no it is not diseased , just looks like it....

 

It is, it is, it is according to Google images. I have a few dracaenas, I would never have guessed it was in the same family.

Thanks again Chocolate!
