    Hello again!

    I figured that you guys helped so much with my last bunch of questions, I'd ask some more lol.

    Here are a few plants that I have, but am unsure what they are.

    Thanks!

    Not sure of the first one other then being a fern, it's a little hard hard to see the frond/leaf shape. The second one looks like an Areca palm (Dypsis lutescens)

    Certainly don't want to discount any recommendations, but palm species are next to impossible to identify positively at this size. Certainly could be a parlor palm and also could be an "Areca". To be certain you will need to grow it for a year or more.

    Agree, almost impossible to id the palm. More than likely parlor palm : )

    Since I have both, I'm still leaning towards Areca. BUT, it could be "another" named palm that's similair to the Areca as well.
    Fronds are different on a parlor palm, more wider in the middle and shorter then the one in the photo:)
