So I've just recently bought these plants, they came in three separate bunches

I'm running a pretty low light setup but I have the lights on for usually more than 12 hours a day, sometimes up to 14

I've dosed some basic ferts and the roots seem to be coming in quite well compared to the fact that they were pretty much nonexistent when I got the plants

Really I would just like to know what these plants are and what care they require, as well as what on earth are the root looking growths on the leafed plant? It appears like it's somehow propagating itself but I'm really not sure....

As far as I understand, the lights shouldn't be on too long in a planted tank, but I'm not quite sure why, and tbh really I just turn my lights on when I get up and off when I head to bed simply because of the way my schedule works out during the day

I can set it up to a timer but really I never saw the point o.o

12-14 hours of light even in a low light setup is too much. Algae will spread very quickly and aggressively.
The first plant appears to perhaps be Ludwigia repens. The second plant is definitely Java Fern.

1 and 3 look the same to me. They look like emergent ammania senegalensis or nesaea crassicaulis. Heres some I planted a few weeks ago.
