SO i a made a bit of an impulse buy at home depot today and while not regretting them, I am at a bit of a loss as where to begin. The plants seems to be part of a generic indoor "bonsai" series locatable by the code IDHA0223 in the HD garden club. The group picture makes them rather unidentifiable.
I have attached photos of two separate plants.
The first photo seems like a plant I've seen before on various google searches. The trunk looks like ginseng so I am thinking that is what it is.
The second and third photos are of a plant that is rather odd. its has 6 stalks that are rather reedy (celery like) with waxy leaves that climb the stalks.
Any help would be appreciated.

the one with the bulbous roots is a poor looking ficus, I don't know what the other one is.

After digging around the excellent resources on this site, I found the picture below.
This image is hidden for guests.
This picture taken from the from cuttings section looks a lot like my plant. I am thinking its another type of ficus as well.

that badly done "ginsing" ficus is dieing fast not much you can do is give it good light and dry the soil out totaly. ..not looking good..
the second looks to be a rubbertree plant this is a plant that you can grow indoors as a floor plant .the leaves will get as large as your head and they dont reduce...my father has had one for 40 years i used to hide my easter eggs in it its a cool houseplant
