Hi guys! I just picked up this philodendron from Home Depot but the card only says “philodendron”. Can anyone tell me which type this is? The base looks like it’s moving to the side with roots coming out above the soil! This is my first philodendron so I’m very interested to know! Thanks 💞

That's a white wizard 🧙‍♂️ You'll want to get it a moss pole so the aerial roots have something to climb and to give the plant some support. The way it's leaning will only get worse without some kind of support and will be much harder to correct later on
