Hi, new here! This is my pothos plant, Patrick! I’ve had him for a few years now but I’ve never know what kind of pothos he is. He looks like what I labeled him, a “happy leaf” but I could be wrong!  
Could someone help label him?

Looks like a n'joy

Very similar to mine- the app said it was a Golden Pothos

This app almost always deems every pothos as a golden pothos. The lack of flecks says N’joy to me! The photo is of my golden pothos, they don’t have the different shades of green you see on manjulas, N’joy, or pearls and jade. Pearls and jade look a lot like N’joy, but they have green speckles.

App lied. Looks like NJOY.

### harper commented on 2025-07-27

both look like pothos "n'joy" to me! happy leaf pothos have little flecks/spots on the variegated areas. i don't think that the care is any different between the two though. hope this helps! :)

Thank you!!!!

### PNWPlantJourney commented on 2025-07-28

NJOY

### Sunny-z commented on 2025-07-28

Thank you everyone for the update that Patrick is actually an N’joy! 🫰🏼 I wish the app had a way to change the type of plant but oh well lol

#### harper replied on 2025-07-28

you actually can change it! if you go to your plant's settings, you can find "plant type" and click it to change it. :)

Wow- thank you for that! 😲

#### harper replied on 2025-07-28

of course!! i had this same issue- i wasn't sure which variety my pothos was and after deleting the plant and manually putting the info back in a million times, i finally noticed that there was a better way lol

#### Sunny-z replied on 2025-07-28

I would’ve done the same or left it as is, which would have bothered me at some point lol
