Try to take pictures of your unid plants in situ, the upper right almost looks like a beech tree leaf or a bramble leaf. Can’t quite tell.

Last one.... “possibly” dock, but again, I’m not sure. I’m sure @JoesMum knows these for sure.

Top is bramble - feed in moderation

Middle is dandelion - feed it

Bottom - I have no idea, but it isn’t Dock. Possibly a celandine of some sort. If in doubt, leve it out - those spots look like some sort of warning that it’s not nice anyway!

It’s always easier to identify the whole plant in situ rather than bits of it on a table.

I recommend the Seek app by iNaturalist for plant ID. Point your phone camera at the plant and it works it out for you.

It's easier for us to help identify plants when we can see the whole plant growing in the ground.
The top plant looks like a member of the mulberry family - but without seeing the whole plant that's strictly a guess
The middle plant is probably dandelion
The bottom plant looks like the house plant called arrow leaf

But again, strictly guesses.

Can you get us a picture of that bottom plant growing on its stems?

I agree you’ve got a dandelion or close relative there and I’m willing to recommend it as some kind of wild berry (bramble) or rose but I’d feel better if I saw a picture of the whole plant. You’ve got a lot of Americans here trying to ID a plant that may only grow where you are.

If you bought live plants you need to ensure they haven’t been treated with pesticides (things to help it grow are fine, just not things that will kill insects).

Can you tell us what you have and where it came from?

Sorry this is so confusing at first but it gets easier.

Sounds hopeful! I would put all of those in the sunniest place you have. Evening primrose won’t be happy inside, I don’t think, but you can try.

Good luck!

Wherever they get the best light. The windowsill is usually best. Trying to grow in a tortoise table is usually futile. They get trampled or eaten to the ground

They will eat anything in the enclosure unless a massive yard. . Go for pots on window sill and then snip off leaves and wash/ serve.

You could probably plant outside now spring is on way if you have any space.

Not sure but if in doubt avoid, I would avoid because of black spots!. Please be aware that any plants with bulbs are a NO inc daffodil, tulip, snowdrop etc..
