Help me ID these plants

[flybyferns]

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.

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

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?

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

.... 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

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

Sounds to me like you talked to the new guy, because he's dead wrong.

This is mother in law's tongue:

the green and yellow is a bog plant

A bog plant? As in, a plant that grows in a bog? Could he be more vague? I don't think so. There are 1,000's of plants that grow in a bog.

the other he said he didn't know, and the last one is a kind of ivy

uuh.... no. You definitely don't have any ivy pictures in this post.

This is what your standard english ivy looks like:



The guy you talked to shouldn't even be allowed to shop at a nursery, let alone work at one! Pathetic.

I know almost nothing about plants, and I still know 100 times more than the guy who gave you those IDs

[eric048]

Lol I just want to know where to plant them an how wet they can take it, also the approximate size of the plants

[eric048]

I can't really do less water but the light seems like a good idea

I totally disagree with those ID's.

I've never seen a mother in laws tongue, aka sword plant aka sansevieria that looks like any of yours. Sansevieria have very rigid foliage and relatively fatter leaves when that small, and will grow upright. They are excellent vivarium plants too, can handle lower light than most other plants and can handle dryish conditions. They grow quite slowly and are darn near impossible to kill.

[eric048]

I'll see what happens I guess I hope I don't kill them

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
