Philodendron or Pothos? That is the question…I took this cutting from a wild growing plant with HUGE leaves. Blank business card for scale.

I vote pothos!

this is a large golden pothos :-) when fully mature, goldens will fenestrate and leaves can get as big as a foot long from petiole to leaf tip. mature ones are often sold as "hawai'ian queen" but they are the exact same as a golden, genetically.

Pothos. You can tell by the shape of the leaves and the stem. The stem typically has ridges while philo is smooth, almost plastic smooth imo. The leaves are more y'know leaf shape while philo is more heart shaped ☺️

I would have to go with the magnificent Pothos, my favorite 🤩!!
