Hello everyone! I’m new here and felt like I needed more help from people who also had philodendrons 🤣❤️ this is my first plant baby named Chi! Here’s a before and after photo so far. I’ve been trying to take care of her based on my own research but so far I think it’s been massive progress. I hope that I can learn more from you all on this journey! 💚

It’s cute and shiny! It’s a golden pothos (Epipremnum Aureum).

I recommend putting it in a pot not so deep. The soil can take longer to dry between watering in a deep pot and easily lead to root rot. It also attracts fungal growth and pests that leave eggs/larvae in wet soil like fungus gnats.
