    I was just given these two plants and I have no idea what they are. Can someone help me so I can research on how to care for them?

    The first picture is the one with the light orange (or dark peach colored) stems. The second and third pictures are of the same small dark green plant.

    Thank you so much saltcedar! That first one is only labeled as a "6 in. Assorted." Now I'll be able to Google it for some more information.

    Now all I've got left is that second one...which is my "4 in. Assorted Foliage"

    Common name for the first one is called "Fireflash" Same family as the common hanging houseplant the spider plant. I just bought one myself!


    Second one looks like a Goldfish plant.

    Family: Gesneriaceae
    Genus: Nematanthus
