Hi Guys,
I also have one where its common name is: Fingernail tip, Green with red tips?
Would you know it's correct name?

Look at the shapes of these plants. I think some of yours are neophytum. Do a google image search and you may find your exact plants.
Hi Debi, good to see you! Your Painted fingernail is Neoregelia spectabilis. It can take quite bright light, and even a bit of morning or winter sunshine.
Number 1 and 2 look like mini Neoregelias, probaly N. olens or somesuch. They too would go well in bright light and morning shade. They make great ground covers, or can be tied to a smooth barked tree, where the newly forming pups will eventually 'stick' to the trunk. Also, hanging baskets look nice with mini Neoregelias in.
Number 3 could be an Aechmea or a Billbergia, only the flower would give me a clue. As it has a bit of red in the leaves, it can also take fairly bright light, but maybe not any direct sun. It also can go in trees.
I suspect your fourth plant is an Agave american, and not a bromeliad at all, in which case you can put it in full sun like most other agaves, in a well drained soil.
