Dracaena Lemon Lime carries long, strappy leaves striped in bright green, chartreuse, and creamy white on an upright, architectural plant. It brings strong color to a room without needing a bloom, and it grows slowly enough to stay in scale for years.

Bright, indirect light keeps the stripes vivid, though it tolerates less. Let the top inch or two of soil dry between waterings; if leaf tips brown, try filtered water, as dracaenas are sensitive to fluoride. Rotate the pot occasionally so it grows straight.
