ID and other help

[Ellie Potts]

SO I am involved in a plant Facebook group online, and a woman offered me A LOT of her plants that are lacking love. They all look rough but are an insane amount for the price and, as a college student, I jumped at the opportunity. I didn't really know what I was getting into until I picked the plants up, but it's a great selection. Only problem... I don't know what half of them are and don't know how to nurse them back to health. Any ideas of what these are and what you would do to help them?

Most of those look like Pothos to me

The one with purple underneath I'm pretty sure is the controversially named Wandering Jew plant, sorry, I don't know its proper name...pretty sure it's that

Tradescantia zebrina, formerly called Zebrina pendula.

Possibly a Syngonium or Caladium species

I agree that a lot of them are variants of pothos. I just have to find out which ones. Then I figure I'll trim the stems and put all of the pothos cuttings in one pot.

I agree it's a zebrina, but it doesn't look healthy. Any idea how to treat it? I don't know the plant well enough to know it's signs

Possibly a Syngonium or Caladium species

I'm excited about this one, never had it, but also nervous because I don't know how to help it.

Ok! I went through every plant and ID'd as best as I could. There are still a few that I just have no idea on. Plants with similar needs got put in the same pot. Hopefully this will be somewhat manageable
I am a little bit confused about watering. You shouldn't water a plant directly after a pot change(?) but some of these guys look like they need it... BAD. I know it's better to under water then over water, but should I risk it on some of them?

Looks like they've got some better compost now.
Go ahead and water them
