# Can anyone help identify this beauty? My friend bought a pothos plant…

_Publié par Carter le 2025-02-17_

Can anyone help identify this beauty?  
My friend bought a pothos plant and when she sent me these pics I realized it's not a pothos 😂 Planta says it's a monstera, it could be, I just don't know. It's in an 8 inch pot and has grown very rapidly, she's had it for like a year and a half now. It looks like some kind of philodendron but I'm not THAT good at identifying plants lol

Maybe a philo giganteum? Definitely looks like a heart shaped philo.

I second the monstera deliciosa! And it definitely needs more light, to reach maturity! Here are two pictures of the same plant 2 months after giving her the light and support she deserves!

Thank you!!!! I thought this too but seeing your plant before and after definitely confirms it's a monstera! Also your plant is beautiful!

#### Plantgirly ha respondido el 2025-02-18

Thank you so much! Yours will get there with more light in no time!!

Seeing the long inner node spacing, I’d say it’s a Borsigniana (spelling may be incorrect) the small form. Deliciosa (large form) like the Thai is tighter, where this one pictured is like an Albo more like vining. I’m surprised there’s no fenestrations after pushing out all those leaves

#### Mr Variegated ha respondido el 2025-02-18

There must be more plants in there taking a closer look.

#### Plantgirly ha respondido el 2025-02-18

This is false actually! Monstera deliciosa has a large form and small form. The small form is more common in box stores

### Mardel a commenté le 2025-02-18

It's a monstera deliciosa

### Buffy a commenté le 2025-02-18

I think it is very pretty just like that. Maybe you could propagate it so you have two versions of same plant!

### KJM a commenté le 2025-02-18

Perhaps a monstera deliciosa or possibly a Rhaphidophora terrasperma

### Kaylene a commenté le 2025-02-18

Gorgeous leaves

### Ruby the plant lady a commenté le 2025-02-19

Looks like a Phil split leaf, but with no fenistrations. ;)
