I can’t really tell but in the second pic the little leaves look shiny like philo micans 👀

⁸Yes, I thought so too. I got the golden at Walmart a while back, pulled a bunch from her and this one is just so different than the rest of them. I dont even recall the little one at all, just noticed it recently

The main plant isn't a golden, it's a neon. When the new leaves unfurl they will be darker if the plant isn't a significant amount of bright, indirect light. Neons have a little higher light requirement than goldens to maintain that bright color.

There are two plants in this pot (and unfortunately a few mealybugs that I just spotted when I took this 🤦🏻‍♀️😂). The one on the left is a golden. The one on the right is a neon.

I've combined a golden, satin and spider, I love them. When I pulled it from the golden I was assuming it was the same plant. I guess now I have a neon too. Surprise! Hahaa
