Identify these plants please and what their needs are


Question
My fianc閑 amputated 4 fingers in September.  We received this beautiful basket from a florist with 4 live plants in it.  I still can not figure out 2 of the breeds and their actual care.  I will send an email with the same subject title to [email protected]

Answer
Angie,

The 1st  and 2nd picture is commonly known  as a rubber tree (ficus elastica),  The 3rd and 4th picture shows a peace lily (spathiphylum). Both pictures look like you may be doing  a bit of overwatering. These plants need to get dry between waterings. An hour after you water them you need to empty the drain trays. Do not repot these plants before April 1st. The peace lilly will bloom more if it is somewhat rootbound so I woould not repot it for at least a year.  If you decide to repot the rubber tree in the spring only move it to a pot with a diameter 2 inches larger than the pot it is now in. No larger. If you have more questions feel free to write again. Good luck.
