What Is This Plant?
What Is This Plant?
I'm trying to find out what type of plant this is, so I may better care for it (as it seems to be struggling to survive). I really enjoy this plant because each leaf is uniquely colored with green & white. I appreciate all help/responses. Thanks!

Hardiness Zone: 6b

it is a tropical plant, used for a house plant or garden plant in mild climate. It has a vining habit or IS a vine. It likes moist, rich soil, and makes a great container house plant. Easy to grow, just water when soil gets dry, but do not over water.

It is a type of philodendron, commonly called arrow head. Treat it like you would any other philodendron.

Your plant looks like a "goosefoot" -- don't know the proper name for it. I've grown these for decades. They come in all kinds of colors. The one I have now is pink. You gave a hardiness zone so I guess you're thinking of putting it outside but I don't think they'll survive the winters in your zone. They like bright, indirect light and they like to stay wet. You can use these in water gardens(they'll survive but won't get bigger).

It looks like a philodendron to me. They are generally very easy to care for. They like bright indirect light and can tolerate a bit of shade. I water mine every week and they just grow and grow. If yours is having problems, you might repot it and make sure it has good drainage. That pot looks a little small, from what I can tell from the picture and a larger drainage tray might be good too. Otherwise, you might try it in a different place in the house. These are a vine so they do very well as hanging plants.
