My mother passed away very unexpectedly about two weeks ago leaving a ton of plants. I’m going to give away most of them because I can’t take them to college with me and my dad won’t take care of them, but this is Shaggy and he was mom’s favorite. I don’t know what kind of plant he is or how to take care of him and I feel like he’s drooping but any advice would be appreciated

I’m really sorry for your loss. 😢 this looks like it’s a split leaf philodendron. They like light (not full sun) and should be watered every 8 days. Not sure if you can move him closer to the front of the window but that might help.
