My app keeps wanting to say pothos but I’m not sure

#### M replied on 2025-04-11

i don’t think so because of the stem? the stem almost looks like bamboo of some sort… i don’t know im very confused 🥲

#### Herbaceous Hanna replied on 2025-04-11

That’s why I’m also confused 😭 it probably said that because of the leaves lol

Wow I love this plant! How cool I hope you find out what it is

### BotanicalBrooke commented on 2025-04-11

Ironically I’m pretty sure it’s a “dumb cane” yes that’s what it’s called 💀

Girl nooo lmao

#### Bebe🌵🤍 replied on 2025-04-11

I also thought it could be a dumb cane

#### Bebe🌵🤍 replied on 2025-04-11

If it is a dumb cane, just be warned they’re super toxic! The first time I repotted mine, my hands were burning a little—but that’s why it called a dumb cane, because they’re so toxic, it’s stupid 💀💀💀

Looks a lot like my Burke Marx philo with baby leaves before they elongate . Never had a dumb cane so couldn’t say in that respect
