# Plant ID help, please! Gemini and ChatGPT are both giving me…

_Posted by Mayari on 2026-01-02_

Plant ID help, please!  
Gemini and ChatGPT are both giving me different answers. It’s either a pothos or a philodendron, but I don’t know how to tell them apart. Or is there more than one plant in this pot?

Some type of pothos I would guess

### LadyTenorJD commented on 2026-01-02

Looks like a neon pothos to me!

#### Mayari replied on 2026-01-02

Thank you! I was hoping it would be the lemon lime philodendron. 😅 Your plant collection is stunning!

#### LadyTenorJD replied on 2026-01-02

Awww thanks! Trailing plant are some of my favorites. That’s why I own so many potros and scindapsus plants!

Neon pothos!

#### Mayari replied on 2026-01-02

Thank you! ChatGPT totally got my hopes up. 😂

### EllenLikesPlants commented on 2026-01-02

I think lime pothos. I have one too and looks similar.

#### Snail Diva replied on 2026-01-02

No that’s a pothos, i have both the lemon lime philodendron and the neon pothos.

A trick is: is the new leaf growing from the old one? Pothos.  
Is it growing from a sheet that dries up? Philodendron.  
Attached is the lemon lime philo (my greenhouse makes it look washed out hahaha)

Here is the neon pothos. 💚

golden pothos, i believe

### Sunny commented on 2026-01-02

Look at the texture of the vine. Pothos vines have distinct ridges shown clearly on my dehydrated Manjula Pothos in the photo.

Heart leaf philodendrons have smooth vines without ridges. As shown in the second photo.

Also, the leaf stem on a pothos leaf has a groove on it where a newer leaf emerged. The groove acts like a sheath to protect the new leaf. The leaf stems on a heart leaf philodendron are cylindrical and smooth. New leaves have a separate flap/sheath that dries later and falls off.

So, look at the vines and leaf stems for identification. I can’t see them clearly in your photos. 🪴🍀

Probably a pothos. 🪴🍀

Pothos 100%

### Crazy plant lady commented on 2026-01-02

Neon pothos

Neon pothos, mine for reference

### Laylay commented on 2026-01-02

Definitely a neon pothos. A lemon lime philodendron is more "heart" shaped with a more pronounced tip on the end of the leaf. This is my lemon lime philodendron cutting to compare.
