I thought this is Rhaphidophora tetrasperma - Mini Monstera - Philodendron Ginnie but it does not look like the pictures I find online. Do you know what it might be? Appreciate your help.

It doesn't resemble the Mini Monstera (Rhaphidophora tetrasperma) that I grew years ago.

I'm so bad at trying to compare photos but I wonder if it might be a juvenile form of Thaumatophyllum xanadu formerly known as Philodendron xanadu:

It could also be...

Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum


or

Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum 'Hope'
I have found that coffee, tea, and rose can all agree on one thing... water everyday.

This plant is a vine. After some research/googling:) It is more like philo mayoi to me but again not too sure. Thanks for the suggestions.

Yes, it looks similar to Philodendron mayoi too; so many of the juvenile Aroids look very similar in appearance and many of them are climbers. Even the Tree Philodendron (Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum) puts out adventitious roots and will latch on and try to climb if given a chance. I have a bunch of them in my yard and one next to an oak tree sent out adventitious roots that are now encircling the tree.

It could be Mayoi and could also be radiatum. I have Mayoi running all over my greenhouse, the juvie leaves do look like that
