Default I have a pot!

After buying a nice set of 3 crock pots from Big W I am left with the
smallest which is approx 15cm across.

I would like to put a small house plant in it, but can you reccommend one
that:

a) Won't get too big and need transferring to another pot.

b) Doesn't require too much sun.

c) Looks nice throughout the year (does matter if it is plants all the time
or just nice foliage).

peace lily. Mine grow happily in a fireplace in the middle of the room
with very little natural light.

Glossy green leaves most of the year, occasional flowers in the form of
white spike surrounded by arum lily-like sheath

They react to lack of water by dramatic flopping of leaves and stems in
complete collapse over the edge of the pot, but recover if you then
stand the pot in deep water for a few hours - obviously it's best if you
don't make a habit of drying them out this far! ;-)

Various dracaena for foliage - I have one with dark green leaves with
light green and white longitudinal stripes.
