Top is euonymus fortunei, next is some type of Peperomia, then Hens and Chicks (Sempervirens) and the bottom is some sort of Spiderwort. The Euoymus is an outdoor hardwood vine, as far as I know not a good houseplant

The first is not euonymus - it is a variegated creeping fig, Ficus pumila 'Variegata' and a houseplant in most parts of the country :-)

The first plant is Euonymus fortunei GG. It has opposite foliage, so it is not Ficus.

3 looks like a bogstandard houseleek ie Sempervivum. (not Sempervirens)

OMG thank you all so MUCH!!!

Of course, you are correct, floral! Never even noticed the leaf arrangement - a small leafed green and white variegated houseplant just screamed ficus to me, as who in the world grows euonymus as a houseplant??

And since both the euonymus and the semps are perfectly hardy outdoors in virtually all areas of the country, I'd elevate them to outdoor status as soon as one is able to plant. They will be much happier outside.

1: agree with Floral

2: Peperomia clusiifolia cv.

3: Sempervivum

4: Gibasis geniculata

Darn, so the euonymus is not a houseplant?? Lol

I feel bad throwing it out since I live in an apartment. Any tips on trying to make it work?

Btw, thank you all for you imput. I started out completely clueless and now know how to care for the three house plants.

I think the peperomia is Peperomia obtusifolia, but I could be wrong.

===>>> learn bonsai??? ... there is a forum for such.. though i dont know how active it is ...

you dont have to throw it out immediately ... just enjoy it.. until it irritates you.. and then throw it out.. might be years ... lol ...

might be a great plant to learn pruning on .. both top and roots.. and basically.... that is what bonsai is ... as long as you learn something.. it will have been worth it ....

All your friends live in apartments? Nobody would take this little cherub for their outdoors? Or you could trade up! Any friends who have something to trade you'd rather have? Any spring plant swaps coming up in your area? Who knows what plant friends you might make! Heidi

I too thought the Pep to be obtusifolia. Isn't clusifolia more oblong, pointy ended leaves than the roundish obtusifolia?

I too thought 1st plant was F pumila, but then noted the larger leaf & its veination, don't think pumila has that.

Karen, leaf size and veins aside, Ficus doesn't have opposite foliage. So that id can be confidently eliminated. I'd lay money on Euonymus.

I've never see it grown indoors but, given its ability to exist in the gloomiest corners and the worst soil, I'd give it a chance by way of experiment. Who knows, maybe it will be ok inside.

The variegation pattern and overall habit of the first plant is identical to Euonymus fortunei 'Gracilis' a.k.a. 'Variegatus', which we have in several locations of our garden.
