    they can both be philodendron but diffrent species like different types of oak trees or heiloom tomatos.

    Hmmmm, guess I'll have to research some and see what name each one has.

    You might try looking up Pothos. I always thought the plant on the right was called Philodendren as well but found out there is pothos & philodendron. They look very similar. The guy on the left sort of looks like Dieffenbachia but I really don't think that's what it is. OK, forget that!! It's not Dieffenbachia. I used to have a plant like yours but for the life of me cannot remember what it was called!! Sorry :( EDIT #2. Now we're getting somewhere!! Googled Philodendren and the one on the left IS a Philodendren, BUT it is Philodendren Selloum or split leaf!! Now we both have learned something new today!!

    the one on the left is a type of phildendron, split leaf. and the one on the right is a queen potho. They are tropical and the higher up they vine the larger the leaves.
