Is this a type of pothos? The mature leaves on the mother plant had 2 splits in each leaf.

Looks like a jade pothos. All pothos will split leaves when mature and if it gets a structure to climb. The vine will have ridges.

It could be a Dragon’s Tail plant (Rhaphidophora Decursiva) if the vine is stiff like bamboo as shown in my photo.

Thank you! it does have a stiff vine and looked like your photo so I do think it must be dragons tail.
