This dracaena pairs chartreuse and green stripes on narrow, upright canes—an easy way to add color to a dim corner or shadowy shelf without fussing. Water sparingly, let the soil dry between waterings, and it'll tolerate neglect better than most houseplants.

Available in spring and fall, it's a low-commitment pick for someone building a plant collection or refreshing an indoor spot that doesn't get much sun.
