The Dracaena is a tough houseplant genus featuring woody canes like the red-edged 'Marginata' or striped 'Lemon Lime'. Snake plants (formerly Sansevieria) are now officially classified as Dracaenas too, adding upright, sword-like varieties to the family. Prefer medium to bright indirect light, snake plants do tolerate low light. Let soil dry completely between waterings they prefer dry soil. This plant is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in average indoor humidity. The only real way to harm a Dracaena is by overwatering it, which can cause root rot. A great plant for the forgetful.
