Hi, I picked up these plants at trader joes the other day and the tags very helpfully were labeled “SPECIES: foliage” Could anyone identify them? Im pretty sure the first one is an ivy, but I dont know what kind. The second one, I know what it is but I cant remember the name so not very helpful in googling its care. Its leaves are velvet textured. (If the photos dont upload, please tell me- its been glitchy with the photos today for me)

Kribensis27 is good at ID plants. And I know how “helpful” they are lol. I was trying to find a certain type and all the Tags just said “assorted plants”

I am not sure about the second one but the first one looks like the English Ivy I have growing all over a couple of oak trees and covering 3 sides of my well house. Well, it was covered with it until the Deer discovered it during the freezing cold days with lots of snow on the ground we experienced recently. Leaves are all stripped off both well house and trees as high up as they could reach. I hope it will come back but even if it doesn't I can't fault them. I am sure food was hard to come by during that mess.
 
mattgirl is correct on the first one. It appears to be one of the many varieties of Hedera helix. It's hard to get a definitive ID on the variety, as there are hundreds of cultivars/varieties to compare.

For the second one, can you get a few other pictures? It looks a bit like some type of Peperomia orba (or a different Peperomia, there is an insane amount of species, cultivars, and varieties), but I can't quite tell from that photo. Could you get a closeup of the leaves & stems? One of the new growth would also be helpful.

Omg, sorry! I was going to respond, but totally forgot! Yeah, I think that's a Peperomia of some sort, but it's very hard to tell the exact species. Again, I'm really sorry for taking so long to respond!

I just got the same plant as your 2nd plant the other day at Trader Joe's. I'm pretty sure it's a Peperomia Orba, as Kribensis said. They had 2 types of Peperomia there and I bought both. Be careful, these cute little Peperomias can develop into an obsession!

I have like 15 of them now :D
 
Download the app PlantSnap. You can take a pic of it and it will tell you suggestions can narrow down at least usually. Looks like a pepperomia orba to me also.
