It looks like a Monstera deliciosa that's just starting to get divided leaves, not a Philodendron.

Philodendrons fall into 2 basic categories, vining climbers. which do just that (vine and climb), and self headers (which are kind of like modified viners that form thicker trunks and put out scads of strong aerial roots that can get very long and go down into the ground or pot and help anchor the plant and keep it somewhat upright).

Monsteras, of which there are several different species but only maybe 2 are commonly available in the plant trade (Monstera deliciosa and Monstera obliqua), are in the same family as Philodendron (Aroid) but are not Philodendrons.

Thanks so much for the reply .... Now I know what I have :)

Bihai, I'm not sure Raven's plant is the common Monstera. I have a similar Philo/Monstera, and though it's related to Montera, its leaves aren't as thick as Monstera deliciosa. It started out as a little upright plant, fast-growing, sort of viney but not entirely, but will need a stake, eventually. Leaves are heart-shaped, split when older. They enjoy a bright lit area, don't like wet-feet. Without bright light they grow spindly. (which is what mine is doing since I moved it) Toni

Thank you Toni ...

I'm heaving it in and out of the house right now because we are having temps in the upper 70's during the day and below freezing at night... sure hope this quits soon!

You're welcome. Isn't it awful? Wish it make up it's temp mind, for goodness sakes..LOL.
It's in the 70's today, so I'm thinking of hauling out Geraniums and a Gardenia tree.. I'm afraid night temps will drop under 40. I don't like lugging plants in and out. Are you taking out more than one plant?
Oh are you planning on setting the Monstera outside? If so, be careful where you place it. Keep out of full sun or even really bright light. It'll burn. Start in a shady spot.
Is the Monstera a new plant? Toni

A friend of mine was throwing it out!! So I took it... I had it outside during the day under my carport ..it only gets dappled sun (if any)

The other plant that was being thrown out was a night blooming cereus..it has some problems that I posted about over in the cactus forum..

They are both out during the day on the carport then back inside at night...

I just moved in to this house and have NOTHING here..don't like having to start from scratch one bit lol ...

Raven, congrats on the new home. It's exciting moving somewhere different. Does your new place have lots of windows? LOL
If we were looking, I'd like a corner building, with south or west facing unobstructed windows. Not even a tree blocking the view.

Is your night Cereus a cactus or Epi? I'm getting the two mixed up. Did you post a pic of the Cereus on Cactus forum? I'll have to check, you've got me curious. lol. Good luck, with a little work, they should do fine. Toni
With a little work, both plants should do well.

I LOVE the house, and there are LOTS of windows, but no real light comes in...I wasnt happy about that

I'm pretty sure it's an Epi and yeah there's a pic :)

Thanks for all the help!

hopeful,
is this your plant?
