My daughter thinks it may be Devils Ivy (Epipremnum) and offers this advice:

If so, mine likes lots of sunlight and water, I try not to let the soil dry out so tend to water weekly, then mist (or put it in the shower while the water warms up!) as required.

They can either hang as a trailer or be trained up a moss pole or canes. Based on the photo it needs a very good soak - overnight in a bath or bowl of water - and maybe a bit more sunlight. The long gaps between leaves on the stems near the pot can often be a sign that they aren’t getting enough sunlight, or need food added to their water once a month or so.

Of course if it isn’t an epipremnum then you can likely ignore all of that!

Yep. It's an Epipremnum. I would soak it for a shorter time, say an hour or two, then let the top couple of centimeters dry out before soaking again. As Shirley's daughter says, more sun and some plant food are also in order. The full name is Epipremnum aureum 'Hawaiian Queen' .
