    2 looks like Dieffenbachia, but at that size it could also be Aglaonema.

    MellyMel,
    #1 is a form of Coleus X hybridus, Lamiaceae (Labiatae) Heaven only knows which one. There are sooo many. Do keep the flower stalks pinched out as they smell funny and ruin the shape of the plant. Pinching also encourages branching and fuller growth.

    #1 appears to be Coleus.
    #2 looks like Dieffenbachia to me, too.
