# Help needed to identify this plant I got for Mother’s Day. The app…

Help needed to identify this plant I got for Mother’s Day. The app says pothos. It doesn’t look like any of my other pothos. Then google says philodendron! Let me know what you all think.

definitely a philodendron.

I answered earlier saying I didn’t think it was, but googled and decided that my assumption about the difference was wrong. I hate it when I post incorrect info. So I’m not sure which it is.

That’s a tough one. It looks like philodendron but could be an epipremnum. The leaves don’t look like a philodendron I’ve seen but so hard to tell when the leaves are still immature.

Well there is a new development to my plant…. Look at the new leaf!

Well looks like it might be an adansonii monstera. Or maybe an obliqua. 🥰🥰
