Got this as a gift a few months ago and it’s growing well but I have no idea what it is aside from a philodendron. Google Lens keeps giving me different answers depending on the angle of the photo… closest I’ve come is determining it to be a Burle Marx but I don’t know if that’s it for sure.

almost looks like p. spiritus sancti but it's probably p. billietiae. also, that long stem usually means low light. you should have more leaves and shorter length between them.

baby and juvenile p. billietiae for reference

I’m  
Not sure about the billiete as they usually have red stems. And they always have long petioles.
