      Could it be a Colocasia @xf8u39 ? The leaves are a similar shape.

        Thanks guys. The reason for the post is that someone, not on this forum told me it was a cannabis plant. If that's the case it will be staying outside.

          Pretty sure it's not cannabis. Leaves are completely different.

            It looks, as Pete suggests, like an anthurium, albeit a bit of a leggy one.

            Whoever suggested cannabis was probably smoking it at the time.
