Can anyone tell me what kind of plant this is? My roommate has it and let me take propagations of it cause I’m a plant nerd but I’ve been trying to google it and look it up on here all week and have been given like 10 different names. I just want to know what soil to put it in cause I’m about to run out of time😅

My satin pothos has bigger and rounder leaves, but the colors are the same for sure.
