The first one is: Breynia disticha

Care: In the garden, grow in fertile soil and partial or light dappled shade, especially in the hot summer months, and consistently moist soil. Pinch out stem tips when young to promote branching growth. Indoors, grow in bright filtered light with ample water during the growing season. Fertilize monthly. Water sparingly in winter.


Second one looks like some variety of croton (pardon my ignorance, if not)...will find later :-)

Regards,

Farooq
