What kind of philodendron have I got here?

I picked this one up for $4 on ckearance at Walmart! Of course it’s labeled “assorted foliage.” Greg thinks it’s a marble pothos. I appreciate any guidance!

If I was betting I’d say Painted Lady Philodendron. Leaves and stems look exactly like the one I just gave away.

@Amghou it doesn’t look like my current painted lady but I suspected it might be. If mine has no variegation I assume it’s not getting enough light?

@captainstardust mine stayed about 4 feet away from an East facing window and never got super variegated. It grew at such a fast pace and got so tall, I ended up giving it away. So I think some just have better genetics than others when it comes to variegation.

This was when she was only about 2-3 ft tall. Not super variegated but super healthy and fast growing. Definitely started noticing better variation when she got taller, and the upper leaves received more direct morning light.

@Amghou gorgeous! Mine gets more leaves but doesn’t get bigger. I should check for root binding.
