My mother recently gave me a few of her house plants that she no longer has room for. She kept these plants outside in spring/summer and then brought them inside for fall/winter. Of course, she has no idea what species they are. As you'll see in the pics they are quite a mess.
First, the smaller of the three pots. This one she pretty much fried this summer. While trimming back the dead leaves I had a good look at this one. I think there may be three different plants here. There are three very different leaves.

These leaves are on individual stalks and stand up pretty straight. They are the ones that fried the most.

These next leaves are on a sort of vine type thing.

Last we have these smaller, heart-shaped leaves that also seem to be a vine.

This second pot she gave me is a HUGE mess. I'm not even sure how many different plants are in there. I'm going to wait until I re-pot the individual plants before asking for ID but thought I'd share a pic.

The last one she gave me I have ID'd as Sansevieria trifasciata.

Any help in IDing or care tips on the first plant/s is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It looks like Arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum), Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), and maybe a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum spp).
There's more pothos in the second pot, maybe the same kind, although it looks more like Marble Queen to me. There is also what looks like an Angelwing begonia (Begonia coccinea). I don't know what the narrow leaves are, unless maybe a Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum).

Thank you Kisal, as usual you are a big help! I also was thinking the narrow leaves in the second pot may be a spider plant.Kisal wrote:It looks like Arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum), Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum), and maybe a Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum spp).

Yes, thank you. The last picture is of Sansevieria trifasciata. I was thinking maybe 'Laurentii' too. I had included it in this thread because it is one of the plants my mother gave me.

Maybe the green 'Laurentii @ form.
Oh, good! I was afraid my blurry old eyes had totally lead me astray!JONA878 wrote:No...sorry Kiisal...just the bottom one.Kisal wrote:The narrow-leaved plant I was referring to is in the second mixed pot ... the one in the pic right above the pot of Sansevieria. Are you saying you think that's Sansevieria, too?
