The first is a corn plant, or dracaena; the second diffembachia (sp.?). Not sure of the care though--I have a brown thumb! :)

The first corn plant is extremely easy to care for and cultivate, it is an extremely low maintenance plant, they can tolerate droughts, and are great for any work space or house space, they love shade and low lighting , though they will thrive near a sunny exposure but be careful and watch for too much sun directly with high heat can cause burnt leaves! They don't need much fertilization if using a rich soil even the less if using a regular soil fertilizer only after the soil is done it's recommended feeding life like normally the bag will say feed for 2-3 months after that time period begin lightly fertilizing once a month half the recomended dosage stated on fertilizer . Less is more with this plant as it is not fussy . The next plant is quite a find!

Kind so it will produce young lungs on its own which can be separated once separate roots have been formed for that bulb nearest it these can be found at the base of the plant , however be careful as damaging main root bulb can kill of entire plant I learnt the hard way so Mach sure it is a young long fully matured before separating . And his plant likes a more breezy air circulating ventilated spot , .
