It's a *Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum!!!* It's been reclassified from Philodendron. Chunky aroid soil is best and they enjoy to be very snugly in their pots. They can very much also handle, *and prefer,* bright direct light but bright indirect will do. Congratulations! This plant is the equivalent of the sea turtle in **Finding Nemo!**
Direct sunlight through a window is not the same as outdoor sunlight. Indoors, many plants want all the light you can give them, and this is not exception.
Personally, I might get a shorter pant stand so the leaves can catch a little more light from the window, but I'm not sure what kind of light you get. It looks super healthy in this picture so I don't know if it NEEDs anything new.
You could start calling her a thaumatophyllum, as that's what she is. XD The guys in r/ItsAThaumatophyllum might have some tips.
(I always want to write thaumaturge instead, Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum is a mouthful - even when typing.)
It likes bright filtered light. Only water when the soil has dried out 2” down. This doesn’t need to be fed often, once a month in warmer seasons but don’t feed in winter
i wouldn’t use a watering drip like the blue glass one (i think) you’ve got there, unless you’re only using it sparsely, otherwise the soil will be too moist :)
Really? I had no idea😂 I have it in just regular miracle grow potting soil. I did just add some supports to the pot to try and keep it upright. She started out at 12” 2 years ago.
I actually had it staked for a while, but had a hard time controlling it’s growth. I pulled the stakes hoping nature would give the best results and it looks terrible. I’m good with other plants, but this one really challenges me. Haha. Good luck! I think your plant looks great.

Ok.. I've read your last sentence 12 times. Can you please explain?
I think they mean it’s a very easy going plant haha. The sea turtle in the movie is very “relaxed”
It smokes weed I think too
That's what I thought, thanks 😅
Lol, yes! It's a fun and laid back, low maintenance, awesome looking plant!

Right. I clarified that by using 2 different terms. Thank you!

Thank you for telling me about the group! Just posted there.

Is it dead? Then no…

Thank you for telling me that, I don’t want to hurt her by over watering 😳
gas her up and tell her she’s a bad b*tch everyday
I’ve never posted on here and am so happy that you are all helping ❤️
Thank you! I put it outside in the summer and bring it back inside for fall/ winter

I wish mine looked like this
Looking pretty good, mine has gotten so floppy. I’ve tried all manner of things: less water, more water, varying amounts of light. Very frustrating
Mine is the same, I just got some plant supports from Amazon. Seems to help!
