The Pilea isn't too unhappy, if it's blooming like I think I see. (Monitor @ work is terrible.) If the leaves aren't limp at all, they could be pointed downward from trying to expose as much possible surface area to the light. When the light is too much, many leaves will point up at the tip to expose less surface area to direct sun. If you're very far south, like Tara, much less direct light would be appreciated than if you're at a much higher latitude.

The 2nd pic may be Cordyline fruticosa if not a Dracaena. Those and Dracs are sensitive to substances in tap water, especially flouride (which can't evaporate if water sits out.) Whenever possible, use rain, distilled water, or condensate from an A/C or dehumidifier.

The Pilea won't care as much, but if the woody entities aren't repotted (remove old soil, trim really long &/or circling roots, replace with new soil) periodically (I do this every 1-3 yrs,) they can't continue to be as healthy as they were when the roots had room to grow.
The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
