# Imagine my surprise! I thought I had some sort of a Pothos, but when…

Imagine my surprise!

I thought I had some sort of a Pothos, but when I looked underneath… I noticed a pinkish color on the leaves. In searching the app I was directed to arrowhead plants. The leaves don’t seem to match an arrowhead.

What are your thoughts? Thank you

It looks like a philodendron ‘Congo nuclear copper flame’. You got a lucky one ☺️

Thank you! 😊

Definitely a philodendron I think!

### Snail Diva commented on 2026-05-26

One more for Congo nuclear, the leaves start a bright orange and turn to green over time. ☺️

Green Congo nuclear for sure. I have a couple and they love throwing out those gorgeous pinkish streaks. 🥰🥰
