Some type of syngonium. I think a haircut might help and proper pot?

Yes will do I’ll do some more research! I do have two pots at home so that will be for them, I have them in the bag for now like that until I get home but thank you for your reply means a lot!

Yep, a syngonium and a pothos. The good news is, both of these have a high likelihood of recovering. Advice for caring for them is freely available, and since there are a few different ways to grow them, you can choose one that suits you. I have some pothos and syngonium in water and some in a loose, chunky potting mix that drains easily and they seem perfectly fine in both.
