I got this plant a couple weeks ago, and i thought it was a philodendron. Today, I got a couple new pothos and i noticed that one of them looked almost exactly like the philodendron i got, but bigger?

The way to tell a philo from a pothos is a philo leaf will come from the petiole, where the pothos leaf will come from the previous leaf.

Ok thank you!

They both look like philodendron Brazil to me. Some people label these heartleaf philos as pothos

Definitely a philodendron Brasil. One of my favorite plants.
