Havent many Houseplants but here they are! Im afraid I dont know the names of most but perhaps someone can identify them for me!
Spider Plant Chlorophytum Comosun [Thanks Bernieh]
This one I do know the common name but not the Latin, it really needs to be moved onto a larger pot now, this plant lives in the Conservatory
Cacti 2 again dont know the names, I have had them 4years now they havent flowered but are getting quite big now and need very little care. they live in the utility room on window staging
Group of 4
This group of four are now in their 3rd year and looking healthy, they live in the lounge on a little table but get plenty of light from the big window.
This is my latest a present from a friend, lives in the Conservatory dont know the Latin name and hope I can give it the right TLC it needs
Ficus Weeping Fig [Thanks Madperth]
This again is around 3 years old and usually lives in the Conservatory , the garden background was too distracting so had its picture taken in the lounge lol. Its a really healthy plant and is putting on lots of growth likes to be kept damp.
Grassula [another guess]
I know, I know signs of mis-treatment but I forgot to water it , it was in the utility room and was bone dry when I discovered its state, so brought it into the Consevatory where its easier to keep my eye on it, I think its on the way to recovery as the centres are now a nice healthy green so is enjoying its new home and weekly drink
Well thats the last of the house plants and I hope to learn a little Latin now*

Carole , you are much better with house plants than I am , I only have the ones can can go for ages without water or don't need much looking after , then it's usually a quick dash round when they are drooping to save them .......

Amy Im not that great, I have lost quite a few in the past, but I now go round once a week to water As Ive felt so guilty when they have died.

Lovely range of plants, PP, I must admit I am a bit hit and miss when watering the plants indoors - you've made me feel guilty now :)

Thanks ladies, but as I said Im also forgetful where house plants are concerned and the Orchid scares me!

I think I can help a little bit:) In your group 4 you probably have Kentia palm (howeia) although I am not sure - it usually is huge plant, but mine also i just few years old and still very small - but not as bushy as yours:) next to it on the left side is Dracaena 'Compacta'. In front of it the small rounded leaves with white pattern on it is lovely plant called Fittonia verschaffeltii 'Argyroneura'. And the last and smallest plant in your group looks like Kalanchoe which by the way you called the guessed name 'Grassula'. I can't be 100% sure but I hope I am very close telling all that names:)
As for the cacti I will try to find the names:)
