Need another ID please

Picked this one up today at HD for $3.88. No name, no care, and it looked a tad raggedy and in need of re potting, also needed water.
It has many small leaves and new growth, so I thought it could be saved.

Any clues/info?

Thx

    The best clue is the opening in the leaf at the top edge of the first photo: I think your plant is a Monstera deliciosa (often referred to as Split-leaf Philodendron) As more mature leaves appear, providing the plant is receiving sufficient light, they will have more openings in the leaves. Very attractive. But the plant can get quite large--prepare for it. :)

    That would be an unusual find, but that's the thought I had also. It looks like the petioles have a geniculum, supporting the Monstera theory, ruling out Philodendron and Rhaphidophora. {{gwi:360312}} found in a search, shows the leaves morphing as the plant matures.

    The pic I've attached is not mine. Unless it's something else, and barring some kind of incident, your plant could look like this over time.

    WOW!
    Thanks for the info.
    Re-potting today. Sure hopes it will one day look like this photo :)
