Hi please to a gander at the links to help ID the broms. My daughter
wanted some, and there was a pot with these three in there. Could
anyone tell me how much light and H2O they need. Do i put them in the
greenhouse, which I just put up four months ago.

They don't need to go in the greenhouse. They make very good house
plants, but will rot quickly from over watering. Make sure they dry
out well between waterings. Bright light is good don't really need to
be in a window but it would be nice to be close to one. If they are
placed in a more shaded room be aware they won't take up the water as
fast.

Hi Mike,
Great advice from Zahn. This site should be helpful as well.

You might ask these folks for an id, but they look like ginger to me.
