Hi Finch!

Images 134 and 131 look like a diffenbachia.

Your toot batoot (? ) looks like a pothos to me.

yea,!! toot batoot is a character from local rhym ,in "urdu" ( spoken language of the sub-continent (south asia)!!
i just named this plant ,which is i guess is "moneyplant" in original.!!!

Hello finch.

images 131 & 134:
Dieffenbachia amoena (also called "Dumb Cane").
I'm not sure which specific cultivar, various ones have more or less variegation on the foliage.
It needs partial to full shade outdoors or lots of interior lighting.
Use a rich well-drained soil mix, and do not allow this one to dry completely between waterings
but don't keep the soil soggy, either.
Re-pot when the roots start to push the plant up out of its container.

images 132 & 133:
Variegated Pedilanthus (also known as "Devil’s Backbone" or "Jacob’s Ladder").
It wants a good deal of light to look it's best.
It blooms during the Summer. It can be grown as a landscape plant in warm climates
or kept as a potted plant and brought indoors when the temperature drops below 50°F (10°C).


images 127 & 128:
Dracaena deremensis "Warneckii" ("Variegated Dracaena").
A great house plant,
it will tolerate fairly low light levels, allow it to become a bit dry between waterings.

images 129 & 130:
Philodendron
I can't name the specific cultivar, it may just be a species Philo.
These are extremely tolerant houseplants,
adapting to most light levels and comfortable indoor temperatures.
Water when soil begins to dry.
Same soil info as for the Dieffenbachia (above).

3 images of "toot batoot":
Epipremnum aureum ("Golden Pothos")
This vine will grow in low light, but bright, filtered light brings out the best in it's coloration.
Let the soil begin to dry before watering.

"china palm?"
Sorry, I just don't know palms well enough to recognize these photos.

wow!!! and thank you..
that's real nice,for a start.!!!!
Use a rich well-drained soil mix????wat does that mean? how do i do that ?
don't keep the soil soggy??meaning?
Re-pot when the roots start to push the plant up out of its container(kindly re-view this plants pots and tell me ,do i need bigger pot than this..??

and about palm,i don't know my self as well, but the guy at "plant shop" sell me it with this name.!!!! hehehe so i start calling it by this name.!
i m impressed by your knowledge about plants, now i'll impress my guests ,when i'll tell them about it, and they'll think that i am taught about it in medical school, :)

funny finch...

a rich, well draining soil mix is one like you would find under the leaves on a forest or jungle floor. it is sold here in bags by commercial companies one of which is called "miracle gro". it can also be homemade by composting, you will need to search that to get more info.

as for the soil not being soggy, when you stick your finger in the soil, it should have some soil stick to it, but the soil shouldn't feel wet.

So sorry to use confusing terms, Finch.
Jiffymouse has explained very well. :wink:

Any store specializing in selling plants and other growing supplies
will probably also sell bags of all-purpose potting soil which is suitable for your plants.

You will be able to tell when your plants need to be replanted,
they will start to look like they have grown too large for the container.
I looked at your photos again, and as far as I can see,
they do not seem to need to be put into larger containers at this time.

Finch bowed and says thank you with heavy gratitude.!!!

As for jiffy mouse ,i don't think it as much funny.!!
i really have no idea about plants, my past exposure to botany was in my pre -med years.( 7 years back).
i never get enough time,in medical school or hospital to read about it.But now i have them ,so i am liking them and loving them,
again million thanx to zuzu ,you and others for appreciating ,helping and educating me.

oh finch, i was laughing at your talking about learning about the plants in med. school! asking questions you don't know is never funny, if i could only begin to add the things i need to learn!

I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
sorry !!!!
i really dunno ,what words dhould i say to apologize for my relexive ,stupid sarcasm.
i waste no time or wait not for a day to ask you about it .
well,am sorry x 100000000....
( sorry still counting .)heheehe
regards
p.s: i am open 24 hrs for any medical problem you wana discuss.

don't worry about it finch... that is the problem with the internet. sarcasm, jokes, and inuendo don't translate well!

and, the reason i described the potting soil the way i did was because i have lived in the asian pacific, and recognize the similarities to pakistan! (besides having had an exchange student from uzbekistan)

thanx !!!
