So this looks exactly like the plant I picked up the other night from Walmart. And the tag said it was an albo pothos.
When I used my plant identifier, it came up as a golden pothos or a Monstera but it clearly has the white markings of an albo
@SwiftWolfsbane thank you Jenny! The holes are what is really throwing me (and making me think monstera) but the leaves are shaped like something else.
@CuteMeadowflax when I brought it home, I sprayed it down with Neem because I thought something was eating the leaves lol. And then I went and further investigated this type of plant and realized it is going to get fenestrations like the Monstera
@SwiftWolfsbane I think you nailed it! Thank you so much!
@CuteMeadowflax you’re welcome!
My beauty... They grow giant if you let them climb
@HipWeed8 it’s beautiful!!
@HipWeed8 wow gorgeous!
It looks a lot like Monstera standleyana (such a rich, dark, shiny green!), but every resource I found is adamant that it never fenestrates.
Maybe epipremnum pinnatum albo?
@smushface yes which is a pothos
@SwiftWolfsbane if we’re going out of our way to say a more generic synonym for something in a way that sounds like we’re somehow correcting a misconception someone never claimed to have, “yes which is also a plant”
@smushface Since tone doesn’t always come through in text, let me try that again:

“YES!!! It’s a Pothos—I had no idea!”

Is that better?

I’m new to plant life and didn’t know that beautiful plant I’ve been admiring was called a Pothos. Imagine my excitement—something rare and low-maintenance? So cool!

And just to clarify, I highly doubt people here are going out of their way to be snide or condescending over a houseplant. Maybe consider that next time! My experience here has actually been really positive 🌱☮️
