    #1 is Chrysalidocarpus lutescens, #2 is Dracaena deremensis or sanderiana variegated

    I have to disagree about plant #1. It looks like my absolute favorite plant Chamadorea elegans, more commonly known as the parlor palm. They start off small but if you love them enough they can get monstrous.

    Chamadorea elegans do not form clusters

    They don't form clusters, but they are most often sold together in large clusters, with several plants per pot.

    It is indeed Chamaedorea elegans and this is often sold as clumps of seedlings like many palms. Also Chrysalidocarpus is now known as Dypsis,and it too is sold as clumps of seedlings. I split mine up as they get too crowded eventually and suffer.
