    1 & 3 may be Aglonema, 2 is a Dieffenbacchia (spelling?) and 4 looks like an Anthurium. If you choose you may want to move this thread to the aroid forum for a more accurate id as most plants you have there are aroids. : )
    5 may be a yucca????

    How to move a thread? That last pic isnt a Yucca. I think I'll wait to see if anyone else replies if I dont get other opinions on those plant's ID's I'll move it.

    You move a thread by going to Thread tools and selecting Move thread, I think...
    Good luck

    Hi. I'm guessing based on the leaf coloration, but the third one may be Aglaonema commutatum hybrid (chinese evergreen); if I'm right, I think it might need a trim and more light, looks a bit leggy. Usually these are small plants but can reach 3'. Where did you get them? Lots of variety!

    1 idk
    2 is dieffenbachia
    3 is chinese evergreen - possibly silver queen variety
    4 is definitely some type of aroid - not sure if it's an anthurium or not
    5 is a dracaena - not sure of variety

    i'd repot the chinese evergreen - that pot is undersized for the size of the plant. i wouldn't trim it any either - that's a nice, older plant and it's the normal growth.

    they're all beautiful!! lucky you to be given such lovely plants!!

    A photo of the "flower' in number 4 would confirm what sort of Anthurium it is. Bear in mind if you ever wish to transplant the Anthurium that you will have to smash the pot to get the root ball out. I have this problem a fair bit with pots that are shaped like that. You think I would learn : /

    *waves to ed*

    that plant is in a plastic pot that's inserted into the roundish one so i doubt there's going to be a need to break the pot. unless it's been left in that set-up for years and years, that is!

    Can someone confirm with me if the first one is "Aglonema"? I made searches on it and none of the plants looks like that one. Thanks!

    There are many Aglonema hybrids, Sandra. I'd say it is but I'm not an expert, like I said for a more detailed ID, I'd move itto Aroid section. I am trying to get one of my Ag's ID'd at the moment : )

    Hi Sandra. Are the leaves on plant no 5 leathery and do they have finely toothed edges?

    Hi Sandra. It is Yucca recurvifolia. Leaves are blue green in colour, leathery and flexible, finely toothed edges, have a sharp point and emerge erect from a rosette and slowly arch as they age. Native to south-east America.
