I’m new to syngonium. Pretty sure the one is a neon robusta but I’m not sure about the other. What is it?

Are either vining varieties that will want a pole?

I have the one on the left. She is just the easiest most cooperative plant and I don't think they need a pole. Mine has tended to get wider and fuller and only a little taller. I have over 200 plants and she is definitely one of my favorites.

Neon robusta and a Maria illusion needing some sun and humidity. I had a berry illusion and neon illusion I bought at the same time and they looked almost identical but once they got the humidity and sun the Maria’s leaves got darker like they should be!

I’ll pop her into a higher humidity area thanks

From the store to now Berry illusion (1st \& 3rd) and Maria illusion (2nd \& 4th)
