# Between Planta, ChatGPT and Google image search I cannot figure out…

_Posted by StephGrace on 2025-12-29_

Between Planta, ChatGPT and Google image search I cannot figure out what this plant is.  
The results they give are very obviously not correct, eg. Heartleaf Philodendron has come up a few times, amongst other things that it couldn’t be.  
It’s suffering because I don’t know how to care for the poor mystery plant 😭

Photos from when I acquired it from a hard rubbish dump, and now (shriveled and only 1 leaf).  
Please help!

I’m quite sure it’s a philodendron — maybe Congo or imperial green

It’s definitely a philodendron but you may need to wait for some leaves to grow a bit before you’ll be able to tell for sure. Wow! Those roots are no joke. 🥰🥰

Definitely not a heartleaf, those ones are trailing and would look more like a vine, whereas this one has a chunky stem:) looks like some fully green philo variety like an imperial green!
