Hi, can anyone please help me identify these cuties.

1. I believe that this is a Polka Dot Plant / Freckle Face, however this should be pink.
can someone confirm if this is really a polka dot plant? How to make the leaves pink?
Btw, I acquired this from someone but theirs were pink.

4. Is this corazon de maria?


Thank you!!!

You can't make the leaves pink because #1 is a Pothos, a very common and indestructible houseplant.

#4 is Caladium.

For real. Pothos Plant Care

Still, it's a beautiful plant. By the way, "polka dot plant" (Hypoestes) isn't just pink. There are green and white varieties too.

#1 is not a pothos. Pothos is a vining plant, not an upright plant, and it doesn't have serrated leaf edges like the plant in the photo.

#3 looks like lantana.

#4 is caladium.

I agree, #1 doesn't look like a pothos to me either. Familiar to me, but not pothos. I googled polka dot/freckle face, and it doesn't look like that, either.

#3, lantana

#4, caladium

#2, almost looks like purple basil

I stand corrected! I did not see the serrations on those leaves! I agree about the lantana, though I also had a close look and wonderred if that might be a verbena over on the right in that photo.

#2 -- basil? Looks similar, but I'm not sure.

1.) Noni (in a variegated form) most likely Morinda citrifolia cv. 'Potteri' Seen here: The Noni Website - Botany or here: Noni Pictures

2.) Joseph'e Coat is the common name for it. Alternanthera dentata

3.) Yellow and white lantana there are several similar cultivars like the ones seen here: Lantana camara Bandana® Lemon Zest from Saunders Brothers Inc

4.) a classic caladium that could be one of several pink leaf varieties: Pink Splash Caladiums - get information about this variety and purchase bulbs online
