Hi, everyone.
My daughter has asked me to identify this houseplant and I can't recall its name!
All I can think of is philodendron, and that doesn't sound right.
Can anyone help?
Looks like it's in need of more light, too.
Thanks alot!

Looks to me like an Arrowhead vine (African Evergreen
Syngonium podophyllum) . I have 3 at home & your plant does look like it needs more light.
Click on the link below to see the different types they have here on Dave's Garden.

Thanks so much, Amalie! That's definitely it :)
And thank you for the link to those other photos of the Arrowhead vine... there is so much to see at this forum, I'm in awe and may not have found them till mid-winter or so!

Blessings to you, too,
Songful

Arrowhead Vine is also, commonly, called "Nephthytis"....If that helps...

Medium light--somewhat vining/hanging down--Makes stem-offshoots (like a Prayer Plant) that can be removed and rooted. There are several varieties....
