    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.
