I got this plant as a gift, the person that gave it to me said that the plant store they bought it from didnt know what it was! i have been searching everywhere since but I have had no luck......i hope you can help me identify this plant!!!
Hi Kristen591,
Does this plant vine, or have any vine-like features? If it does, this plant looks to me to be a Heart Leaf Philodendron. However, I don't see any vines yet, the stems look to be quite long...I to would be interested to know if it is not a philly.
when i originally looked on the internet thats what i thought it was but it shows no vine like feature at all....im so lost....
plus it has had alot of new growth since i've had it and it all looks the same as the older growth..no change...
This is a tropical aroid such as a philodendron. There is also a smaller plant with divided leaves, perhaps a schefflera growing with it. Both are too small and young to be showing the adult characteristics.
It looks like what you have is a Split Leaf Philodendron Monstera Deliciosa. Young plants may have leaves that are entirely unbroken but as they mature they develop the characteristic perforations and split edges.

I agree it could be a immature split leaf philodendron .. i would wait for another leaf or 2 to determine .. and i also second what RonB said about a second plant being in that pot a starting of a Scheff ..
i think it looks like an anthurium without any flowers, and couls possible if it was bought at walmart, they tend to keep things around even if they are done flowering. we just got a whole shipment of anthuriums into the flower shop i work at and some didn't have flowers and looked exactly like that and they have all the same growth habits as the plant in your picture.
