# I bought this little guy on WhatNot a while back and I don’t remember…

_Posted by drabbit4u on 2026-04-06_

I bought this little guy on WhatNot a while back and I don’t remember what it is. It had 2 little leaves to start and now it’s almost 18” long. Can anyone help? Seems each app/ai I try says something different.

Definitely looks like some type of philodendron to me

### drabbit4u commented on 2026-04-06

I agree there

### 9s commented on 2026-04-06

It’s a philodendron mican:)

#### Lisa Anglim replied on 2026-04-09

That’s what I thought

### plantgeek commented on 2026-04-06

philodendron micans!

### drabbit4u commented on 2026-04-06

I have a philodendron micans and I agree they look very similar. But my other one doesn’t push out pink leaves! If you zoom in, the adult leaves stay variegated. Definitely not the same type of micans as my other one 🤷‍♂️

Maybe the new variegated version

### drabbit4u commented on 2026-04-06

The second photo is my regular one.

### drabbit4u commented on 2026-04-06

Leaf shape isn’t the same either.

### Sarah commented on 2026-04-06

I think micans, and that it needs more light than it’s been getting.

### drabbit4u commented on 2026-04-07

I just spoke with the guy I bought it from. He said it’s a variegated philodendron micans.

Not sure about that this is my Variegated one but definitely an aurea variegated

It looks like my Ferrari but not quite enough different colors so possibly an aurea
