Hey guys! I was informed that this plant of mine might not be a monstera… I’m very new to plants and want some opinions! Is it a monstera? A philodendron? Let me know!

What a conundrum! Looks like a split leaf philodendron but I’m not too sure. Beautiful plant though😍

It looks like a Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma to me. Or called a “mini monstera”. The only other thing I know is it’s neither a monstera (just looks like one) or a philodendron.  
Hope that helps 😊

Thank you!

I agree w/Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma! These grow so fast! I miss mine, I lost her to thrips 😭

That looks like a fake one but they usually don’t climb that well so maybe it is real. But idk much about it.

I know I’m not sure yet either! It used to be so much taller but then I chopped it to propagate it. So weird. Thanks!

Looks like maybe a Swiss cheese monstera? It looks very happy though!!
