Hello! I bought these five plants today. I made sure to buy low maintenance plants because I’m a beginner. Two came with tags but the other did not. I’m sorry to say I forgot what the others are. I know I have two snake plants but I’m not sure about the others. I read about how to take care of plants and I plant on watering them when their soil is dry to imitate a rainstorm. Do I need to buy insecticide? Should I be doing anything else to help them survive? Any help is appreciated!

sorry, I can’t help you with an id, but have you read the beginner basics of the sub? I think it could help answer some of your questions.
you can buy an incecticide if you want, will you be keeping them outside?
last year I lost a hibiscus to aphids, this year I bought incecticide for the summer, but no bugs have come yet (thankfully) .. just buy it if/when you need it
(edit ‘pesticide’ to ‘incecticide’)
The big one in the back is a Zamioculas Zamiifolia aka a ZZ plant. The small succulent to the right of it is a Hawarthia Limifolia aka fairy washboard. Not sure of the one on the left. Great collection to start with!
Read up and don’t overwater. The snake plants and the hawarthia need well draining soil and should be completely dry before watering.
Left to right you have a parlor palm, zz plant in the back, sansevaria samuria in front of that, hawartha then a sansevaria moonshine.
Beside the parlor palm less water is more here.
