Good question. It looks to me more like a gloriosum cross (glorious). Brandi has stronger silver and deeper green without that pillow look. Definitely not brandtianum and Solidoi does not typically have the red venation. Same with the red catophyl, more typical of gloriosum hybrids/relatives.

The leaves look more juvenile and the leaf does look a little verracosum to me but the sheath of those are velvety and as leaves mature (with humidity) they would grow famously hairy petioles. The fact this has some red venation plus the lack of hairs and other cross phenotype my final answer is a Philo glorious or a related no ID gloriosum hybrid. Curious to see what others think!

So definitely not brandtianum, I’ve been researching and ruled out sodirini and sodiroi aff, cannot for the life of me figure out what cross it could be though 😅

Not brandtianum. I have one and it’s more of a vining philo with heart shaped leaves and darker green with silver
