# I bought this plant from Lowe’s and it’s labeled golden pathos. But…

_Posted by Ladybird on 2026-08-04_

I bought this plant from Lowe’s and it’s labeled golden pathos. But the app says it’s mini monstera. New to this houseplant hobby, so I’m not really sure. Anyone have any guidance?

That doesn't look like a pothos to me. The split leaves are a dead give away!

Thanks so much!!

Mini monstera are not actual monsteras. Beyond that… I’m not sure on advice yet because I just rescued mine from a box store clearance rack. It has leaf fungus from being shoved between to many plants so I’m starting behind. This one looks beautiful! I would follow the apps directions and see how it goes.

Looks like a cebu blue

#### Ladybird replied on 2026-08-05

Ok so after some through internet searching, that’s exactly what it is. : ))

Is some sort of Epipremnum/Pothos but not golden pothos

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-08-05

This is the same plant but Albo. The last pic is mature form I just cut this morning waiting to be water propped

So this is in the pothos family? I have so many different variants and none of mine ever get fenestrations! Envious!

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-08-05

Yes part of same family. We never get to see mature pothos but they get huge and fenestrate. This is my Golden grown on moss pole. Was trying to get it to fenestrate. Top leaf is 18inches.

Love! So pretty ❤️

### Angelica commented on 2026-08-05

1000% not a golden pothos, 1000% a mini monstera

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-08-05

Would you have a pic or know the scientific name for “mini monstera” still have yet to see one.

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-08-05

Is this what you call “mini monstera”  
This is a Rhaphidophora Tetrasperma. It’s not even a monstera.  
Unfortunately this is not the plant the poster is asking.

### Jordan commented on 2026-08-05

This looks like a Baltic Blue or Cebu Blue Epipremnum (pothos)
