Hello there! I have a bunch of house plants and I'm not sure what they are. I'd like to identify them so I can find out how to care for them best. Please check out the images and let me know if you can help!

No, notice the characteristic of the Swedish ivys leaves (green form) and the hairy leaves of a African violet, even trailing

Venusflytrap is absolutely right. I have all of these plants except your #6 photo, not a clue. BUT if you go to www.orchidgeeks.com (where I am also, these people are so knowledgeable it is awesome. Send a photo after joining. You need to post or respond to 5 postings. They have a sticky post "General Chat" They are great, I have learned so much about my latest passion, ORCHIDS!

Sounds nice.. my Phalaenopsis is in bloom, but i found some of the buds died prematurely before they had the chance to grow to become gorgeous blooms. three blooms came out afterwords but i don't think humidity was a problem, it most likely was cold drafts were it used to be... :) where should i cut on the flower stem to initiate new flowers..?
