3 plants in one pot

[PKN]

Hi,

If anyone has any idea what the names of these plants are, I would appreciate it.

This is what I know.

The fern type plant is one plant.

The two brown sticks go with the spidery smaller plant.

The lone, long green leaf is another plant. The root of this plant is a white bulb, like an onion and can be pealed like one too.

Thank you for your time.

They are all pretty sad aren't they.
As nobody seems to want to have a go. These are just guesses! Assuming that they were bought as a single display of differing heights & have been starved of light.
The tall one looks as though it might be some kind of dwarf palm perhaps Cocos Wedelliana/Syagrus Weddelianus.
The 2 dead sticks seem to show evidence of the remains of dead leaves going up them. Could this be a Dracaena with less than the normal variegation.
The single leaf. Might that be our old "friend" the Spider Plant – Chlorophytum again with a lack of variegation.

Hi Keith,

I just wanted to say thank you for identifying them. I never knew the one green one was a spider plant. I've only seen the variegated kind. I did not know they could be solid green. I have really learned a lot reading this website and others. I admire people like yourself that can identify a plant so easily. Hopefully, someday, I will be able to do this myself.

You are right, they are pretty sad aren't they. You will be glad to know they are repotted in their own pots now, and I moved them to a different location so they get better light. I hope in a few months they look much better. We will see.

Thank you again and have a nice day.

Variegated plants will revert to all green if they don't get enough light.

I can't really tell but, looking at the photo, I'm wondering if the pots you're using have any drainage holes. They do need to be able to drain properly or their roots get waterlogged and rot. You also get a buildup of salts in the compost which will harm, and probably kill, the plant. That may be what happened to the ex-Dracaena.

To be honest with you, I'd be inclined to buy new plants and make sure they're in the right place.
