Oh my…honestly, I’d say put the one in the white planter out of its misery. Poor thing. The Dracaena is absolutely salvageable and looks relatively healthy. Just repot it in a planter with drainage, give it a tad more sun, make sure you let the soil dry out a bit between waterings and it’ll be fine after a few months. The massive…bush…thing? Is that a kalanchoe? It seems to be happy because it’s flowering all over the place. I personally would either give it as much sunlight as possible or propagate some new plants from it because it’s so misshapen. I’d just find it difficult to manage.
