Help needed❕

The app tells me this plant is either a Philodendron or a Bird of Paradise (for the record I’ve never seen it produce the little bird-like flower) so any advice would be appreciated 🙏🏻

Definitely looks like a bird of paradise to me, if that’s what it is then they don’t usually flower until they’re like 3-4 years old and super healthy

You’re right! Phil the philodendron is now Stella the Strelitzia 🤣 We’ve probably had it 2 years and it’s not in the best condition so now I know more I’m going to sort it out.
