Never seen one of the lemon-limes, but I looked up a picture and they look quite nice. It is a dracaena and I think all the dragon trees have similar care requirements. If your marginata you already have is doing well, then you just need to do the same things for the lemon-lime. It doesn't need a lot of light but it likes humidity. Keep the soil moist and maybe use a humidity tray or mist the plant some times.

PS I don't own one of the lemon limes, but I do have a marginata. and a couple other striped foliage little trees that I think are related. They seem to do quite well with the benign neglect I give my house plants, not really being so much a house plant person.
