Could someone tell me if this is a pothos or a philodendron? I rescued it from my grandmom who can’t care for it anymore \& I initially thought it was a pothos n joy but I’m not entirely sure.

Thank you!

Interesting, some leaves look like njoy and some like manjula!

#### Koko svarade den 2024-02-28

I just looked up the manjula, you’re right! Now I’m over here trying to google the differences lol.

#### letsfindjoy svarade den 2024-02-28

They are the same genus, epipremnum aureum, it’s just different variegation coloring bc of a genetic mutation of the og golden pothos that makes the specific varieties. So while rarer, it can start to genetically mutate a different variegation variety from its current one.

I am definitely a lover of the smaller leaf pathos. The do much better at being bushes or bush like. After almost a year of dealing with the tentacles on this one I cut them off to return the plant to its lovely bushy form.

What did you do to get it so full? Mine was given to me this way \& I was thinking about cutting, propagating \& replanting some of the longer areas but I’m so impatient lol.

#### John G Amero svarade den 2024-03-03

I had to go back and look at my Planta logs. (Guess they’re not so silly now huh. ☺️😉)

Exhibit 1: 2021 a repotting into this clay pot.

Exhibit 3: End of 2022 and another reporting. And this is the pot that it exists in today.
