I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this plant I got… _Posted by Ama on 2025-10-27_ Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me ID this plant I got back in September. It came free with a pothos I bought and was in pretty rough shape originally, but its perked up a smidge and seems to be growing a new leaf. I'm pretty sure it's a philodendron, but I'm not sure what specifically. Any help is appreciated! :D ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/EM0SMA6aH84rPf15nV4vAUs0G1KFC67SA6xfRTJyi5c/UDb5rzOyQg2KkYdtLFUsTA.webp?size=large) ## 19 comments ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵 commented on 2025-10-27 Kind of looka like mine, mine was in rough shape too from Lowe's bargain bin 😩🌱🫶 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5A7OWgM6nyZ8PHvm1KUPbj8itNxf6vmJBgk7cbzGZFk/SK3QJ7nWRwGcx_yNBXRE9g.webp?size=large) #### Ama replied on 2025-10-27 Ooo maybe? I feel like my plant doesnt have as much "texture" in the leaves as yours does, but that might be because its so small? ### 🪴 Botanical Bekka🌵 commented on 2025-10-27 🤷‍♀️ in my unprofessional opinion, 😎 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/5A7OWgM6nyZ8PHvm1KUPbj8itNxf6vmJBgk7cbzGZFk/viYJOW2YQcyQokxpxVfEsg.webp?size=large) ### Lyn commented on 2025-10-27 Hey! To me it looks like a ring of fire maybe? #### Ama replied on 2025-10-27 :0 oo maybe! After looking at more photos of them, i can see that kind of wavy look on the edge of the leaf. #### Lyn replied on 2025-10-27 That’s what it looks like to me! It’s hard to tell to where yours is still pretty small, but it’s so cute I love your plant! #### Ama replied on 2025-10-27 Thank you! Hopefully itll get more of those ridges as it (eventually) grows! ### Tracy Lee commented on 2025-10-27 Looks like a Jose Buono 🥰 The campii doesn’t get variegation #### Ama replied on 2025-10-27 Ooo good to know the campii doesnt get variegation! :0 ### Auds commented on 2025-10-27 Maybe a Philodendron ring of fire or caramel marble? #### Ama replied on 2025-10-27 A caramel marble would be really cool! I guess it'll be easier to tell once it starts to grow more ### Crazy plant lady commented on 2025-10-27 It really looks how my ring of fire started out ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wsiBWdWWuSAxTYTBm9QPYArkl1vHLBDGtncejiF7b7k/w_Vd1q4xTGCUKHxyfUoAsQ.webp?size=large) #### Ama replied on 2025-10-27 That seems to be what a few people are saying and I think you guys might be right! ### Paz commented on 2025-10-27 Looks like my ring of fire :) ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/W-YN8HqhfhNN88ksy_d2meh_dQJ8Esg6gi2byMAInL4/fOZkLK7ESCWGbJn0Tnl-bA.webp?size=large) ### Magz commented on 2025-10-27 Another vote for ring of fire. ### Abby commented on 2025-10-28 That’s an awesome freebie!! I’m pretty sure it’s a philodendron Jose Buono. Here’s a couple pictures of mine. A lot of my leaves have grown with white variegation like yours before transitioning into a light green ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gI7v9QrC3KbaEr6ZdjG1F39PeliVG_URIllWt24w7Vw/h-Ne4PYlTI2aydPJh20SSQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gI7v9QrC3KbaEr6ZdjG1F39PeliVG_URIllWt24w7Vw/An2J_4iNSIekMb0b8PePSw.webp?size=large) #### Ama replied on 2025-10-28 I see a lot of people saying either ring of fire or jose buono, so im excited to see what it is when it grows more lol ### Melody commented on 2025-10-28 It kind of looks like a philodendron right of fire. You have a good one too, it is very variegated. I’ve attached a photos of mine in a year or so yours will be about this size. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ldKvKSZQiDV8Rjdwe6SEilb4RuGwy17a2PGVUaLpVdU/BZPTUc3eR8mq0CB77-INBA.webp?size=large) #### Ama replied on 2025-10-28 Ooo yours is cute lol it seems the majority thinks its a ring of fire :0 --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
