I’ve just acquired a bunch of neglected plants! What are they? Can I save them?

    the snake plant (first photo) is likely done for judging by the state of the base of the plant. the other two seem like they might definitely be saved – i would start by checking for root issues on the monstera but the peperomia (i think that’s what it is) looks ok! a little droopy and dry though

    I think the round leaf one is a pilea peperomiodes, also known as coin plant / ufo plant.
    I’m not sure if the big leaf one is a monstera or some kind of philodendron.

    Tbh when ever a plant starts dying like the monstera at the last picture I just chop and prop in case it doesn’t make it
    The pilea is probably fine, they’re surprisingly sturdy I’ve tried to kill mine many times

    1st plant: It’s a snakeplant with mushy leaf, high chance of root rot but they are quite tough you can try to repot into a smaller pot with perlite medium

    3rd plant: Looks like a heart shape philodendron with its viny stem, only 1 leaf is yellow I think it’s not that serious, maybe check the soil is it too wet and dense, repot to some aroid medium if necessary. You can also propagate by cutting some stems and root them in water.

    Put them in the bathtub for a day to see which ones will start to recover. Then you may need to renew the potting mix and give them a feed most should recover. Edit: (The water level halfway up the pots.) This will soak the roots which have not had water for a while by the looks of it.
