Scam ivy
Oh sweetheart you were so scammed. I would say it’s a pothos but I also don’t know a lot of plants. Pothos are notoriously easy to care for and easy to find.
Pothos. It seems to have a pink variegation. Maybe they tried passing this off as a pink princess philodendron? But even then it would probably not be a $700 cutting.
I would say it’s some kind of variegated alocasia and they can be expensive but 700$ is pretty wild
Yeah, this is a tissue culture sport (mutant) alocacia or colacasia. More than likely will revert to its original form as it grows or will die. The rare plant Insanity started during COVID and has dissipated recently, but gullible people with $$ continue to buy. Tissue culture produces many sports depending on species, but the vast majority are unstable and will not produce good plants. Maybe yours in the one in a million.
I have some future ocean front property for sale.
A money laundering plant.
Why would you spend that much for something you don’t know the value of?
$700..is for a TREE. Not a clipping
Variegated alocasia. I’m not an alocasia expert so I can’t provide the exact ID, but based on leaf shape maybe a var cuprea or azlanii? The folks in r/rarehouseplants will likely be able to help way more than me
