This plant gets sun, air, water and food, so why does it look so
crummy?  Does it need to be cut back, or?

Also anybody know its name?

  Possibility pot bound along with poor drainage.

That seems likely to me.  I can imagine poking my finger in the soil and
finding a marsh.

Plants are also not uniform in how MUCH sun, air, water, and food they
require to remain healthy.

Nah.  I always check underneath for pot-bound-ness.  Drainage is
fine.  Nothing seems out of order, so why is it so, so...weedy?

BTW:  Does anybody know the name of the plant?

Sigh!  I wish somebody would ID this plant...
