It looks like it from the color and ridges. All the 'branched' sp don't branch till mature

It’s a Dragon Tail. I’m propagating a few pieces.

but after googling further, it's not actually a philo?

#### Sunny replied on 2024-12-17

That’s true. It’s not a philodendron.

In case you wanted to Google it more, it’s a rhaphidophora decursiva ☺️

It's kinda like how the "mini monestera" isn't a monstera. Classifications change
