Philodendron or no?

This was one of my first house plants ever, but now I am not sure it’s a philodendron…..

It looks like it might be a young monstera deliciosa. Similar care to a philodendron, so that’s good

Agreed!

Definitely looks like a young monstera. You will know as it gets older.

Lol looks like my monstera; I find it hilarious how a lot of these plants look alike while small. Makes it a treat when they get bigger.

Thanks, everyone! It’ll be exciting when they grow.
