#2 is called Pink Splash (at Home Depot). I only know the name of the last one in Spanish - I doubt that would be helpful.

3 looks like an epiphyllum of some sort, and 4 looks like a tuberous begonia.

1. Looks like an immature Monstera, as they get bigger and more mature the leaves start to have more character to them. They actually look like swiss cheese.
5. Looks exactly like my varigated philodendron. They are wonderful slow growing vines!

The first and last look like philodendrons. The second, as Reg22 said, is Hypoestes phyllostachya, which is commonly called a polka dot plant or pink splash.

Picture Number One looks like my Monstera deliciosa (aka Delicious Monster Plant, Split Leaf Philodendron, Swiss Cheese Plant, and other common names), apparently when it flowers (mine probably won't until I get it into a greenhouse) the fruit can be ripened over the course of a year and be eaten. Although some caution should be exercised as an unripened fruit is poisonous. As it grows and matures, provided it gets enough light, the leaves will develop deep splits that get more numerous with additional leaves. This is a climbing semi-epiphytic plant, so it should be provided with some sort of pole on which to climb, it will also develop aerial roots provided the humidity is high enough. In nature, the plant actually moves away from light until it finds a suitable tree on which to start climbing.

Picture Number Five looks like a variegated variety of Epipremnum aureum (aka Golden Pothos, Devil's Vine, and several other common names).

Not sure about the others.

#1 - as other have pointed out, appears to be some type of Philodendron

#2?

#3 - is a Rhipsalis or Hatiora of some sort. There's a strong chance it's Rhipsalis cruciforme (sp?)....looks just like it but there are so many that look similar it's hard to be certain. I can guarantee though, that it is definitely a Rhip or Hat. Epi cactus...like to be moist in the warmer weather and some dry time in the cooler, darker days of Winter. They don't handle full sun well so morning sun or late day sun is ok in the Summer...in the afternoon make sure it's shaded. To take it to orchid light...think high end of phal light.

#4?

#5 as others have mentioned...definitely a pothos.

thanks a LOT its really nice to have a name to look up when i haqve any issues with them i have a couple more "unknown" plants

[jsehorn]

I'm pretty certain 4 is a kind of begonia. When I was in college, I managed a garden center, and we carried those. Those types have unimpressive flowers and are grown for their foliage. Just be careful not to give it too much direct sun, and let it get dry-ish between waterings. They rot easily if they stay wet.

Hi Kellylake,
#3 is an Epiphyllum, called orchid cactus or jungle orchid, I have a similar with the almost "triangular" shape. The flowers differ in color, all are beautiful! Epiphyllum oxypetalum, night blooming cereus, is the famous member of the same family, however the leaves on the cereus are flat and wide. I believe I have seen pictures posted on this forum from members who have flowered them.
#4 is a rex begonia, and a very pretty one at that!!
Both are easy to care for, the rex lower light...the epiphyllum higher light.

#5 is called "Golden Pothos" at our local lowes.

This is a common mistake. The plant is definitely not an epi...most assuredly a Rhipsalis (aka in many cases Hatiora).

Epiphyllum stems are always flattened w/age. They can start off roundish but will always be flattened w/age. The other thing is the "hairs" at the nodes...Epis don't have the "hair" or spines. Epis will get root growth at those nodes but you'll never see "hairs" likes you do w/the Rhips and Hats.

Thanks, Katrina, I said that one was an epiphyllum also. I have what I know is an epi, and it is definitely flattened like you described.

[1joyceh]

Thanks for the info Katrina.
I have 3 epis, they are 4-5 yrs old. The epis I have do have hairs, with the exception of some of the oldest 'leaves'. Some have flattened leaves, some have maintained the triangular shape. So many hybrids out there!
I have 2 with tags "Vista Sun" and "Pink", the 3rd, the tag was lost.
#3 looks very similar to the ones I have.
