Got this cutting from a friend and successfully propped it. They said it was a Pothos. I showed it to my partner’s grandmother who said it was a Philodendron. Its not that I don’t trust my friend, but it had me wondering. I tried looking it up, learned what a cataphyll is and what a petiolar sheat is, but I’m still unsure. I’d say I’m about 60% sure it’s a Pothos. If so what kind though? Please help!

By the fenestrations in the new leaf, this looks like a monstera, which is in the Araceae or commonly known as the Aroid family. Pothos are also aroids, but neither are in the philodendron family. Philodendrons are also in the aroid family. There is a slight difference between Philodendrons and Pothos, concerning their appearance and growth habits.
