Help identifying two houseplants

Hi,
My name is Carolyn and I just signed up, so I hope I am doing this right! I live in Boise, idaho, and I currently have a couple hundred housplants. I have two that I cannot identify. The orange one was sold to me as an "orange sherbet" plant, with no botanical name attached. The other one is a vine that I bought at Home Depot, no name attached. It is more tender than a philodendron or pothos, with stems that pinch off easily, but not as easily as a wandering jew or similar plant.
Can someone please help?
Thanks!

The first plant may be Chlorophytum orchidastrum, a relative of the Spider Plant.

The second plant was called Scindapus pictus 'Argyraeus'. Some of the pothos have been reclassified as Epipremnum, I'm not certain if that happened with this plant as well. I agree with the Chlorophytum id also. Joe
