Cute plants. The red one is a prayer plant, Calathea Roseopicta, commonly known as Rose Calathea. The green one is either an Nājoy or Pearls and Jade pothos. I believe itās a Pearls and Jade because of the green specks in the white areas.

Awesome. Thank you so much. As it mature does the nājoy and pearls and jade pathos start to look different?
1 LikeBoth types keep their markings. Look at the pictures in the comments below. Your pothos should stay cute!š Both plants like bright indirect light. The pothos is more tolerant of low light. I would put it in a 4 inch pot. I start my cuttings in a 4 inch pot to give it room to grow roots without changing pots too often. I would move it to a 6 inch once it doubled in size or the roots are coming out the bottom. Use a standard well draining potting mix. Iām canāt keep prayer plants alive. š I can tell you they are dramatic. They dislike tap water. They donāt like to move from their happy place. They will droop, close up shop (roll leaves) and show dry leaf tips if you miss their watering time. Many planta people successfully raise them. So, ask questions as soon as something happens. Good luckš
