Can't see your pics...it's a private account. You're better off just copying and pasting the "tag" line that's under each pic.

it is also on an interior wall ... not enough light ... or you moved it for the pic ... if the houseplant peeps fail... try the name that plant forum ... my guess... is that it is a very large plant.. in a rather small pot.. and that the media has failed due to age ... complicating proper watering.. and not enough light now that it is a huge plant .. hows that for covering all the angles.. lol ... after an ID... i would google how to propagate it.. and if possible.. and once i could get one or two to root ... i would be done with grandma... and enjoy the new clones ... ken

Thanks! I think it is indeed Pachira aquatica which apparently loves moisture so they can't have been overwatered? They're not in styrofoam cups but 10 inch tall white pots but with no drainage which I suspect is the problem. I will repot as suggested. Thanks again for your help.

Compare to P. orba & japonica (synonym of P. blanda,) both part of EA's lineup. http://www.costafarms.com/plants/peperomia However, P. orba is probably something else: http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-2556294 P. blanda has a lot of synonyms! http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-2556483

Westsub, I can't view your album---you have it set for "private" viewing only. There will be a setting in there somewhere for you to change it to "public" viewing.

The second one looks like a ZZ plant, I think.

The plant labeled "unknownplant" is a ZZ plant aka Zamioculcas zamiifolia.

The first plant is a tradescantia fluminensis, wandering jew family. I have one too and it grows like a weed, I got mine a few months back as a clipping, and already have a couple full pots. Sometimes the green gets some variegation of white, and it looks really pretty.
