Hello! I have a plant that I thought was a heart-shaped philodendron. Upon searching this website I came across a photo of a "Devil's Ivy" (Epipremnum pinnatum). To me, the only difference I see is that the Devil's Ivy has some white spots on the leaves. Is that the only real difference? My plant has some leaves that has some white spots on it, and some leaves that do not have any spots. I would like to do some trading, so I need to know for sure what this plant is. Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond.

Yes, I just took a couple of pics, one leaf with spots and one without. This one has the spots.

This one does not have spots. (if it looks like it does have spots, it's due to the reflection of the flash on the camera).

Sorry, the one without spots was the wrong one. That one does have spots. But here's a pic of the entire plant, in which I hope you can see the leaves that don't have spots.

Thanks Kim,
I see from the picture hyperlink you sent that my plant does look like it, some leaves having white on them and others not.
Thanks for your reply!

Hi Ya Kim!

Yep, you got it right, it's Pothos/Devil's Ivy: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/51451/

Not a Philodendron but a lot of people think it's in the same family because the leaf shape is like that of the heart leaf philo.

This plant is another that grows outside here in Florida, climbs up the trees and the leaves get really huge!
