    Looks like a parlor palm (Chamaedorea elegans) and Dieffenbachia combo.

    Thanks!!! I thought that was a parlor palm...Do you know if it is okay for these two to be in the same pot? Or should I seperate them??

    I would repot them separately.

    And the Dieffenbachia needs a soil with wicked-fast drainage and a pot with drainage holes in it. About 50% peat, 25% orchid potting mixture, and 25% soil, with a handful of activated charcoal thrown in, is perfect. Water should pretty much run through this, leaving it damp but never soggy.
