For both plants I would repot into dry soil, consider using a plastic nursery pot if it’s not in one already. For the left one leave it dry. For the right one, I’m unsure what kind of plant that is but I would cut away the dead leaves, leave the one green one, and let the roots heal before it grows more leaves. The soil looks wet, but any more information will help!

Sorry now I see it’s an anthurium, I would definitely stick to my suggestion haha

I cut some dead leaves away a few days ago, and the ones that are now brown used to be green. If I cut away all the brown ones there will be like barely anything left right??

Yes but that’s okay. You want the plant to focus on the one green leaf, and the roots, in dry soil. It seems like it’s been inconsistently watered

Pothos_whispererThe purple one is a tradescantia, likely a nanouk

DianaWith my tradescantia it LOVES light. The more light I give it the happier it is and it doesn’t seem to care at all how much or little I water in that case. Mine is all purple though so it may be able to withstand stronger light, I’m not sure.

Agree, my Nanouk thrives with more light. A windowsill on the south/east/west is the excellent. Plant will become more purple too.
