dracaenas

Tropical foliage plants

Dracaenas are tropical plants with long, sword-shaped leaves, popular as houseplants for their tolerance of low light and neglect.

The genus includes the dragon tree and corn plant.

Their dramatic foliage—often striped or edged in contrasting colors—makes them common in offices and living rooms: The dracaena in the corner needs water.
