I was given a few houseplants, and I don't know what they are. I've been searching online, and I think one may be a calathea and another may be a schefflera, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any more ideas? I haven't had plants before, and I want to make sure I know how to take good care of them. This is the flowering plant. I wonder if it is an azalea. The leaves on this plant are very large, and it has a thick stem. A leaf and stem(s) of the plant I think may be a calathea. A leaf/leaves of the plant I think may be a schefflera.
Thanks! It's looking like some of these plants (trees) may actually end up quite large. Do you think they would be okay outside? It gets to about 95 F in the summer around here, and we get quite a bit of snow in the winter, though it doesn't get all that cold. I'm a bit worried about the schefflera plant now, though, as I have an indoor cat. So far I've read that this plant is poisonous if eaten, and my cat has been interested in this bunch of plants. I hope none of the others are dangerous, too. I wonder if I should put it outside, as well, but it is the smallest of the bunch.
