this is a philodendron birkin. they’re quite lovely! you can move it to soil but be sure to not let it get more than 50% dry while it’s transitioning from water to soil. after a couple months, you can water when the top 80% of its soil is dry. philodendron can easily die from root rot due to overwatering (which is being watered too frequently but not the quantity when watered).
