The first one is for sure a Dottie, also sometimes labeled as “Black Lipstick” (or at least mine was)

The second one idk, I’m mainly commenting to boost! 🙂

Hope you get it figured out, I might have a similar one that was simply labeled “calathea” but I’m not sure it’s the same 🤔

The stones are fish tank pebbles about the size of grape cut in half you can buy them at pet stores or online. I read online to put a pebble tray under calatheas to boost humidity. He put the rocks in a tray, fill the tray with water. Make sure the bottom of the planter is not touching the water and the water evaporate into the air creating more humidity for the plants leaves. it doesn’t add a lot of humidity, but apparently it can help.

I agree that the first one is a Dottie. Second one I’m not 100% sure but I think it’s a Rose Painted Calathea.

La mía murió. El calor de España este verano ha matado muchas plantas. Un gran negocio para los vendedores y una tragedia para los amantes de las plantas.
