I picked up these for $5(cad) each! I know one is an alocasia, can anyone help me identify the other two? and any tips to help them thrive? TYIA 😊

I believe the one to the left is a syngonium and the other could be a peperomia ginny.

Any care tips?

Both of these plants I keep in a west facing window with blinds and they get most of their sunlight in the afternoon. I use a moisture meter and water when they are dry or close to it which I find is normally about 7-10 days. I fertilize twice a month when I remember. Your syngonium might be a maria. It looks pretty close to mine

I also have this Syngonium that sits nowhere near the window and is probably 4 times bigger than the other one. I do everything else the same.

I can’t help with the Alocasia. I’ve only had one to survive.

### Christina commented on 2026-05-27

Looks like a neon or strawberry cream syngornium and a polly alocasia

Is the Alocasia a Bambino variety? I almost had one, till usps couldn’t figure my address out! Poor things dead in a box somewhere…
