Hello! New (to taking it seriously) the plant world. I was under the impression when I got this plant that it was of the pothos family, now that I’m getting into plants, I’ve been informed that pothos normally don’t fenestrate.. please can you ID this plant for me?

It’s kept in my frog tank, so 12 hours of UVB and natural light a day, humid and often watered (when I remember). It’s gone crazy, won’t stop growing. It’s planted in peat moss purely because it’s frog friendly (I understand it’s not the best, but I’m limited to frog friendly options). When I first bought it I had no experience with plants, so it’s lucky it’s still alive..

Actually all pothos have the ability to fenestrate (round holes) or pinnate (slits in the sides) when the get big enough. Unfortunately, that's difficult to do inside unless u have a Baltic Blue, which gets pinnations as a juvenile. Cebu blue also pinnate quicker than the others. I agree that ur plant is not a pothos, maybe a type of monstera?! It's hard to tell from the pics. I looked up the Florida ghost philodendron and it might be that!

It’s a rhaphidophora tetrasperma
