this is kinda a “keep or throw” situation for me right now. i have a baby named pickle, not really sure if planta is correct on what type of philodendron it is so i call all my plants by their names. THE QUESTION IS.. do i keep this freak of nature or send it off on a vacay forever…
I always keep my freaks of nature until I can mourn them without thinking I could’ve done more. I say give it one last shot!!

Def keep Pickle! He’s got personality! I don’t think that’s a Philo though. Looks to be more of a pothos variety

It’s a philodendron if the vine is smooth. It’s a pothos if the vines have ridges. I would keep it a bit longer. The pot looks huge. The plant must use up all of the water in the pot or the roots will rot. I recommend placing it in a 4 inch pot. Toss the soil. It looks like a sponge. It needs a lot more perlite for drainage. Orchid bark and coconut husk chunks added to 1/3 standard potting soil will give it a chunky mix good for airflow and drainage. Fertilize every two weeks with 50% diluted fertilizer. Cut back in colder months if the growth slows. Give it a grow light or a bright spot near a window. 🪴🍀

I agree with Sunny’s advice, it looks like it could be a golden pothos

Keep pickle please! It has so much character and will 100% grow back. I think it’s a golden pothos and if you can maybe try repotting into a smaller nursery pot for optimal growth
