This is my philodendron, Pat. I know there are over 400 varieties, but I figured I would try asking here. It is crawling, not upright, so not a Birkin (although the rare variegation looks a lot like a Birkin). The leaves are not heart shaped. The app suggested a Jade or Golden Pothos, but that’s not a philodendron (is it??? I’m a noob). I’m also wondering if the tag was wrong

Thanks for any help, even if it is just to tell me I am on a fool’s errand.

I would consider this a birkin. Is it the bottom of the stems that make you think it’s a crawler? If so it may be bc it was growing towards a light source that it’s kinda horizontal like that.

Yes, that is why I thought that. Thank you so much 😀
