The last 2 look like they could be Ruellia makoyana and I think think the other is Pellionia pulchra

Thanks Harry. Thats what they are, I just forgot the names and lost all my tags. The ruellia makoyana began rooting overnight. It seems to be a fast grower. I hope the Pellonia comes back, it looks pretty sickly!

They are also pretty hardy plants (P. pulchra), and it looks as if you've got it in the right conditions, so it should do fine.

Just to let people know what I do, because I found it works VERY VERY good and is simple.

I use a ten gallon (need to upgrade to bigger but no room yet) and covered bottom in like 3" of LECA and filled half with water, covered with screen, then placed my potted plants in there. they are potted individually in sphagnum or whatever media I want. I also do this for rooting them as well.
