Hello I am new to this website and new to dealing with plants. I have never been that great at it but would love to get better. My mother-in-law has given me two plants but had no idea what they were and I cannot find anywhere what they are, nor do I really know what i am looking for. I am going to list one and than post the other one. If anyone can please tell me what they are so that i can research about how to take care of them that would be WONDERFUL. The one plant seems to be doing fine. The second one I will list is not and I can not figure out why. So please again if anyone knows let me know and thanks do much. This is the first site I found when looking for a way to figure out what these plants are. I was going to list two pictures but it looks like I can't If i closer picture would help let me know. Thanks

Looks like you have a Syngonium of some sort or common name "Arrowhead Vine":

I have a few of them, they make great houseplants.


Your's may be this one:

I aquired this one at a festival; it has pink in the center of the leaves. I looked at the ones listed in link but none matched. The Christmas was too pink. (the one with the pole in the middle)

There are probably some varieties that aren't in Plant Files

Lots of varieties that aren't in PF. I have these two that I bought at Wal-Mart in early summer .... no ID's whatsoever. I love the pink in the leaves!

Hey plantladylin! I may have a name for your variety! I googled "syngonium+variety+pink" and found these two links:

Oh, Thank you .... I think you might be correct on both of those! I have one somewhere called "Neon Allusion" or something like that but wasn't sure about these two.
