If you are looking for an attractive, versatile indoor plant that doesn't demand much of your time or attention, look no further than the dracaenas. They are easy-tolerating low light, low humidity and infrequent watering. Keep in mind that while dracaenas will tolerate adverse conditions, they will be much happier and healthier with just a little care. But it is nice to have a plant that can take conditions that are less than ideal. There are several different species of dracaena that make great house plants and each species has several variations.
Most indoor gardeners are familiar with the corn plant.
Dracaena fragrans grows large leaves from a woody cane, resembling a corn plant. A popular version of this plant is D. massangeana , with bright yellow stripes down the middle of its leaves. Dracaena marginata has much narrower leaves that can be as much as 2 feet long. As it matures, it develops an attractive gray trunk and loses its lower leaves. Plain Dracaena marginata has green leaves with a red edge and there are variations with pink, yellow and white in the leaves.
