Plant ID help please! Is this an Alocasia cucullata/Chinese taro? Or my friend thinks it might be a philodendron gloriosum? I won a mystery plant in a contest and it didn’t come with an ID haha. Need to ID her so I can care for accordingly 🙏

Definitely looks like a philodendron pastazanum. I have one a smidge bigger than that.
