Possibly dragonfruit but lots of species look similar

That’s what planta kept IDing it as, but I doubt it is that haha hopefully when it gets bigger I’ll be able to identify it easier. Thank you!

I just want to say: Wow, to your coworker in keeping a plant for 50 years!

She told me how it started with her grandmother who then passed it to her mother and now she has it!
