Name That Plant!

Need 2 plants ID'd

9 years ago

Hello,

I can't identify these plants. I think they are the same, but not sure. Someone said it's a sprout plant, but every look on the web, sprout leads to Brussels sprout. Thanks.

Same plant, different angle.

Looks like Schefflera arboricola (syn. Heptapleurum arboricolum) -- a very common houseplant.

Different plant, but looks to be a larger of the first one.

Thank you all so much. I didn't even notice that I got a reply at 1:07. I was in the middle of setting up my preferences to get message replies at the time and think I missed it.

I'm all set now. Gotta go buy me a new plant.

Is it safe to say, these plants grow in the direction where there is sunlight? So, if that means I have the plant in one corner of the room but sunlight is in the opposite side, will the plant grow towards the opposite side of the room?

Thanks.
