got some plants addressed to my boyfriend earlier this week but neither of us ordered any. absolutely 0 clue who sent them or if we should be concerned but that's for another day lolll.
i have absolutely no experience in caring for household plants PLEASE help me!! i think the last one is a snake plant, no clue what the other ones are.
can anyone help me ID them? i'm thinking about bringing one or two into my office depending on how hefty care is!

Bird’s nest fern, *Asplenium nidus*
Pothos, *Epipremnum aureum*
Snake plant, *Dracaena trifasciata* ‘laurentii’
*Asplenium nidus* (bird’s nest fern)
*Epipremnum aureum* (golden pothos)
*Dracaena trifasciata* (snake plant) ‘Futura Superba’ or ‘Laurentii’
Bird’s Nest Ferns, Asplenium Nidus. Favors high humidity, loose porous soil, moderate to somewhat strong lighting, and watering when the upper layer of soil is dry. Its considerably more tolerant of low humidity and mild drought than other ferns but you definitely don’t want to push it.
Golden Pothos, Epipremnum Aureum. Favors high humidity, moderate to strong lighting, a loose and porous soil, and watering when the upper layer of soil is dry or as soon as the leaves begin to slightly droop. Pothos are incredibly hardy and adaptable vines and are very difficult to kill.
Snake Plant, Sansevieria Trifasciata. Favors very strong light, a very porous and gritty soil that contains a lot of perlite and sand, and only wants water when the entire pot is bone dry down to the bottom. Extremely hardy as long as its in good soil and isn’t watered too often. It can tolerate lower light levels for a long time but it gets very floppy eventually and is more prone to problems with moisture in low lighting.
