This plant is at least 6yrs old, and all I know is it needs sun,LOL:

#1 is a Norfolk Pine tree - Araucaria Heterophylla ....looks like it needs more light. If you do a forum search or go to the top and google search you will get plenty of info.

#4...you said needs sun....can't remember what they are called but DON'T put it in direct sun or it will burn and croak!!!!

I'm sure others will be by to help you more. Catlover

hi murphyette ~~

#1 as catlover has said, is a "norfolk island pine" ~ araucaria heterophylla

#2 is dizygotheca veitchii ~ "false aralia"

#3 is anthurium andraeanum ~ "flamingo lily"

#4 looks like a "parlor palm" ~ ??possibly?? chamaedorea elegans

I want to get more, but I have a whole lot of windows in my house, and all of them are facing the srong way. LOL A majority of them are East/West
