    I was told that the first one is called China Doll, but I am not sure about that, because when I searched for China Doll, I found different looking plants. As for the others, I have no idea. Please help. Thank you in advance

    Thank you so very much. I really needed to know their ID's in order to know how to keep them alive, especially here in this country. Thanks a lot.

    That pink-leafed one might even be a very unusual coleus (Solenostemon / Plectranthus scutellarioides). You can make out a rather thick fleshy stem with opposite leaves. Fittonia never gets leaves shaped like those upper ones.
