I inherited three class plants when my daughters Head Start ended Wednesday. The one in the best condition I believe to be a pothos, although I am not sure what variety it may be. I am most familiar with them, and this one appears to be relatively healthy.

The second looks like some sort of bamboo. It is potted in soil. A majority of the research I have attempted has led me to bamboos that grow in just water, and I am unsure if there is any differences regarding that. I am not even for sure that it is a bamboo, it just looks like that.

The final plant I really have no clue on. This one reminds me of some type of palm plant (not a tree.) It could possible be a kentia. It is in okay shape. There are some dead ended leaves on there, and what I believe to be spider mites. The reason I think they are spider mites is that it was a spider web type thing on the leaves and part of the base, right at the dirt.

Basically I am wondering what care I can give these plants to get them healthy and keep them healthy. Should I remove the ends of the leaves that are dead, or leave them alone? How often should I water them and what not. Any additional information about caring for house plants would be greatly appreciated.

You really are going to have to have specific ID’s for each of your plants. There is no one set of care rules that works for all indoor plants.

The Pothos, regardless of variety, should be kept in very bright but indirect light. Close to a north or east window is best. Water it thoroughly when the surface of the soil is dry. Fertilize it sparingly at half strength and only when it is growing vigorously. It is best to keep it pruned back so the vines do not become long and stringy.

There is a plant called Lucky Bamboo that is usually sold growing in water. They are Dracaena sanderiana cuttings, not Bamboos. Sometimes these Lucky Bamboo are potted in soil. So it is hard to know if that is what you have.

"Palm" is a huge category that include many different Palm species and even some non-Palms that people think look like Palms. It is unlikely that you have Kentia Palm as they are usually very large and very expensive.

Spider mites are very common on Palms, but their webs are very fine and not usually attached to the soil. It could be a common house spider.

Any dead leaves can be cut off and brown leaf tips can be trimmed. This pruning and trimming is done for cosmetic reasons and has no effect on the health of the plants.

You can post photos or email them to me for proper identification. Only then can you get the proper care instructions that you need.

In the interim, don’t make the very common mistake of repotting any of them

I have written articles on the care of Pothos, Palm species and Lucky Bamboo and also indoor plant pests that I can email to you without charge if you email me a request.
