It appears to be a Neon Robusta Syngonium. They like to stay a bit moist, but not wet. If you're unsure, it's best to wait and water it later than to overwater. I love mine! She seems to grow a bit slower than my other 8 syngs, but still a beauty!

I am pretty sure it is a neon robusta arrowhead. I have one too. The good news is this is hard to kill and it grows like crazy. Here is the photo from when I bought it July 4 and a photo from today….

It’s fun to ask here on the community forums, but you can use the apps AI also to identify plants. It’s not always right, but I think 80% of the time it is.
