# Hi- I just bought this plant off someone local to my area and I am…

_Posted by Julia M on 2024-07-02_

Hi- I just bought this plant off someone local to my area and I am unsure if it is golden pothos or heart leaf philodendron? In her post, she said it was heart leaf philodendron, but I’ve had golden pothos before and it looks quite similar (for some reason struggle with it though😅). If anyone knows the identify of this plant that would be very helpful. Also- if anyone has some comments about overall health of the plant based on my pics/recs to help it grow that would be very helpful (I think it has sunburn on a few leaves). Thank you all!

Definitely a golden pothos. Your plant’s health could be lighting or watering. It’s hard to tell without knowing the conditions

That’s a pothos for sure!! Looks like maybe it’s getting a bit too much direct bright light especially with the summer heat.
