    I purchased these two identical plants from an Extra Foods. I spent over 3 hours on the internet trying to identify this one myself but I had no luck. If anyone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it.

    What you have is a Codieaum or Croton. Indoors in bright light will do the trick, moderate to well watered, depending on temperature.

    Not here
    Codiaeum (note spelling) is the generic (genus) name, actually.
