Ok so I've got 2 house plants and not only do I not know what kind they are I also could use some help as to what to do with them both.



The one on the left ever since I got it is browning at the tips and I don't know why. It's got sunlight, I was told it didn't need much, and I do water it ewvery few days as well. I put it in a bigger pot when I first got it and used FoxFarm organic soil to fill the bigger pot up.



The one on the right is actually doing better then the one on the left. I thought it was a lost cause but that leaf to the right in the below pic is a new and only few weeks old and really looks good. How do I get more to grow like that one did though?




Ferts for both is something I need help with two.



Thanks in advance!

The plant on the left is a member of the Palm family. The brown tips on the leaves could be caused by several things, it could be a water problem (too much or too little), a pottassium deficiency, excess boron,floride in the water(?),or excessive heat or cold.
The plant on the right is a Schefflera and planted outside in Florida can grow to 40 ft. and when mature have a brilliant red bloom at the top.
Hope this id of some help.

When watering I would let the soil dry out before watering again. Don't keep the soil moist, remember Palms come from the tropics where it usually dry except during rainy seasons. It will take a lot of experimenting on your part. I use ozmacote as a fertilizer, it's slow release, use every 3 - 4 months. If the leaves start to turn yellow spray the folage with a mixture of 1 tablespoon of epsom salt to a gallon of water. Tap water should be fine.
