They're all growing plants, so why is the difference so huge?

They're all growing plants, so why is the difference so huge?
1. A long, straight, pointy cactus
Pyramid cactus
Kept indoors without light for a long time, it kept growing frantically upward, getting pointier and pointier, until it caught up with a pyramid.
2. The long-legged lithops
Long butt
Look how badly it has etiolated, as long as a dog's leg. No sun for a long time, and watered so much in a dark environment.
3. Grown into a caterpillar
Caterpillar
Even scarier than a succulent etiolating is one growing into a caterpillar
4. Grown up to the sky
Big long legs
Just one summer and it turned out like this, a truly unique ornamental look,
5. Lucky bamboo
Drugged bamboo
I strongly suspect someone poisoned the water the lucky bamboo is soaking in.
6. A rotting snake plant
Too much water
No ventilation for a long time, plus too much water, led to something bad happening.
7. A pothos not watered for a month
No watering
Not watered for over a month, no idea whether it can still recover.
8. A gardenia about to become a bare commander
Dry air, too little water
Lacking water, with the plant's growing environment dry, the leaves gradually all fell off.
