Hi Rachel, welcome to container gardening/gardenweb!

Looks like you've suddenly got a nice tropical garden collection there. I sadly only knew names of two off the bat, so I went on a google scavenger hunt :) I've definitely seen most of these around as houseplants.

1) Some species of Chamaedorea (reed palm/bamboo palm) - apparently there are lots, so no idea which species.

2) Not sure, I like it though. Looks like 2 and 5 might be different varieties of the same thing.

3) Sansevieria - not sure more specifically than that.

4) Epipremnum aureum (golden pothos) - seems ubiquitous as a houseplant.

5) This one isn't as distractive, which makes it hard to google easily.

6) looks like Dracaena fragrans - variegated corn plant - though I can't see if it has a woody, segmented stalk.

7) I think this is a fairly common species of fern kept as a houseplant, but I'll leave that one to folks with experience with ferns (not that I have any experience with the other plants ;)

I can't offer many care tips, but a lot of these will deal with fairly low light levels (maybe not a northern exposure?) since many are understory tropical species adapted to that.

Other than that, just the basics--don't keep them soggy, don't under water, make sure they have pots appropriate to their root masses. They all seem fairly tolerant of houseplant conditions though, so I suspect they shouldn't be too challenging.

Lots of helpful people on this forum, so I'm sure you'll get lots of more specific advice, too :)

That's *distinctive btw, not "distractive".

Sansevieria is also known as mother in law's tongue.

Thanks for the fast response! This forum is great. I will look up the care on these and go for it!

2 - maybe Pepperomia
5 - also maybe Pepperomia
