Help me ID these plants

[eric048]

here are the plants somebody ID these for me

[eric048]

I have them growing in eco earth I'm going to try and get them bigger before I add them to the viv

[UncleChester]

This might be a Philodendron oxycardium? The colour of the stems and the way they attach to the leaves make me think it's not a pothos, but it's hard to tell from the picture.

Looks like a Dracaena deremensis, 'Lemon Lime'?

These also look like some kind of Dracaenas

Dunno, closest I can find in my book is a Pilea cadierei, Aluminum plant, but it's not something I'm familiar with and doesn't look quite like it, so it's probably not.

[eric048]

do these get like huge, or are they okay, how hard are they to kill, what light and humidty, water, etc

[eric048]

I will take better pictures today.... what do ya'll need to see

[UncleChester]

I'm pretty sure on the Dracaenas, but probably won't be able to be much more specific on the type. Their care is generally the same in any case. They'll do fine in typical artificial light, and like moist soil, but not soggy wet. As to how big they get, that does depend on the type, some will get quite large but they don't generally grow super fast and can be hacked down if they are getting too big. They'll regrow from the stem provided they are otherwise healthy. They generally give lots of warning before you kill them off.

All the Philodendron vines I've seen (and I am by no means familiar with all varieties) have the stem attach to the leaf at a bit of an angle. Pothos, the other usual suspect for a vine like that, has the stems gradually turn into leaves (see attached pic, that's a Pothos leaf/stem bit in the bottom right corner). If it is a Philodendron, they don't like the soil too damp and are also fine in typical artificial light. They'll grow as long as you'll let them and can climb up walls or glass on their own (sticky roots). They can be trimmed back whenever you like and the cuttings stuck back in soil to propagate. Pothos is pretty similar, except can handle wetter conditions, grow faster, and are generally a little more invincible.

The one I couldn't ID, I'm sure I've seen many times I just don't know the name so I think it's reasonably common. Hopefully someone can fill in the gap on that one.

I will take better pictures when I get home, I want something my red eye can perch on and look good in, nothing that gets huge

Hi Eric,
I think Brian could be spot on w/ ID on your plants.
Except the last one?
Could it be a :
PlantOasis.com - Prayer Plant (Calathea amabilis/ Stromanthe amabilis), Burly Marx
Lynn

[eric048]

the stems on the last one look almost like palm stems, do ya'll know about how big they will get? I also contacted the botany professor at my college he should know for sure if not I will do research, the draconea there are like different types I have no idea as to which one it is.... as for the one that is the lemon lime one the leaves on it are flexible and thin not stiff like the ones I googled.....

Yikes!
This is scary?
How about -search here.
TROPICAL PLANTS
Maybe you will ID them?

[eric048]

it's Vegeta he is upset at how many types of Draconia there are....

[UncleChester]

.... as for the one that is the lemon lime one the leaves on it are flexible and thin not stiff like the ones I googled.....

"Stiff" and "flexible" are pretty subjective terms, I have 5 or 6 types of dracaenas including one that's supposedly a lemon lime and I'd call all of their leaves flexible. Mine are all relatively small though- it's possible they get stiffer with age and size.

I'm not sure if you're trying to identify them because you're concerned about their size? I wouldn't be, like I've said they don't generally grow very fast and can easily be cut down at any time you feel they are too large.

[eric048]

I'm just curious a to where to plant them, the amount of light they need... Etc

[eric048]

So I talked to a guy at a plant green house he said that the 1st 2 are called mother in laws tongue, the green and yellow is a bog plant, the other he said he didn't know, and the last one is a kind of ivy

Hi Eric,
Your plants look nice and healthy. I found these links for you. Hope this helps.
Maybe you can read more about their growth habits. ( ie the amount of water the can tolerate) The philodendron can be hung, the leaf of one you have is a bit smaller and fragile when compared to a : ie pothos. The prayer plant and the dracaena will both grow up right. The dracaena (you have three) will grow large if you let them. The dracaena could grow wide. You may want to read about how to trim them. The prayer plant stem should (?) be strong enough to hold a red eye if the frog should choose to sleep on a leaf. Obviously, if the stem is in not strong enough the frogs weight will pull it down if they chose to sleep on it. However I am not sure it will get tall enough?

I still don't think it is a prayer plant the stems look like little palm stems.... the other two are dead on though
