    Could someone please possibly ID these two plants for me. I got them as a gift but they had no name or care information with them.

    This is the first...

    The second I believe is a Dragon Tree but there appears to be lots of different types of Dragon Tree and I am unsure exactly which this is...

    Also will either of these (particularly the Dragon Tree) grow much taller? Would they be better off in larger pots to facilitate them growing bigger?

    Do either of them have any specific care needs?

    Thanks in advance :)

    Leftfield,

    The first one looks like Yucca guatemalensis to me.
    The second one is, Dracaena marginata (Madagascar Dragon Tree) Water the yucca when dry, give it direct sun. Water D. marginata when close to dry, good bright indirect light (curtain filtered) is what I gave mine.
    Both can grow quite tall. I'm not sure on the yucca, but the Dracaena can be cut back and new leaves will grow near or around where you made the cut(s) :-D
