What kind of plant is this?

Any idea what kind of plant this is? It's currently vining along my house. It's new and I've never seen it before this year. Is it a type of #pothos or something totally different? It's really pretty and I'd like to know what it is before trying to move it. #plantid #outdoorgrowing #newgrowth
@PrizedSoybean35 Google AI says it’s a This plant is an Aucuba japonica, commonly known as Japanese Laurel or Gold Dust Woman. It also says it loves shade. 😊
I believe Tina is right. At first, I thought it was a sunburst pothos, but the growing habits don’t look quite right. So I’m thinking more of your Aucuba. Most pothos have a vining nature and will want to climb on things; this plant doesn’t appear to be that way. If it’s a laurel of any kind (besides bay leaf laurels), they are toxic to humans and animals. So just be careful if you have any little furry friends. πŸ˜‰ 🐈🐾🐢
@Luckeecharm1 Tina, how is your Alocasia doing? Has it doubled in size, or gotten any corms yet?
@Idplantthat thanks to you and your help here she is. I also grew this Cuprea the same way.
@Luckeecharm1 oooh they both look happy, healthy, and absolutely beautiful! Cupers make some amazing colors and ribbing, love πŸ’• it. You’ve done beautifully! πŸ‘πŸ» 🩡
@Idplantthat thanks for the confidence booster words. I just followed your lead. Very happy about their outcome. 😊
