# I got this mystery plant today from BWH. Planta says it’s a heart…

_Posted by happysoxdonkey on 2025-10-03_

I got this mystery plant today from BWH. Planta says it’s a heart leaf philodendron. Does that look correct to you, my plant friends? I have a lot of plants, but this would be my first philodendron.

This kinda looks like my tiny dancer alocasia

I looked it up and it does really look similar!

No, heart leaf philodendron’s are a draping plant that’s upright. Not sure what it is, still could be a type of philodendron thou

### Dani commented on 2025-10-04

Can we see the base and stem/trunk?

#### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-10-04

TBH the base looks like a monstera to me. That’s what I thought it was until I checked on planta.

This is really interesting. All my reverse image searches do say philodendron and specifically the heart leaf variety. I’m wondering if it’s just so young that it hasn’t started to Vine yet? I have about 18 Pothos and philodendrons and some of them do grow upright 🤷🏻‍♀️

#### happysoxdonkey replied on 2025-10-04

Thank you for checking that for me! AI suggested a young monstera when I showed the base picture when I showed a side picture it said Philodendron rugosum. I wish it came with a name!

#### Dani replied on 2025-10-04

Ooh look at it drooping in the one photo though! I mean these things definitely aren’t 100% foolproof when it comes to AI, etc. Maybe time will make it easier to tell.

Thank you! Every angle I try I get a different plant suggestion lol
