Snake plant

Sansevieria trifasciata

Dragon tree

House plants for a bedroom - dracaena

Dracaena marginata, or the dragon tree, is a houseplant that has elegant long, thin leaves with red edges. The lower leaves gradually fall away to reveal a thin trunk. The dragon tree looks good on its own and is also useful for providing height among a group of houseplants.
