Philodendron 'Dean McDowell' (gloriosum × pastazanum)

Philodendron 'Dean McDowell' is a large crawling Philodendron hybrid created from Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron pastazanum. It grows from a creeping stem that travels across the substrate surface, producing broad heart-shaped leaves with pale venation and a softly textured, quilted look as the plant matures.

The crawling stem needs horizontal room to advance, with each node able to touch the substrate and root as it moves. A wide planter lets the leading stem extend across the mix, settle at the surface and root from successive nodes.

Broad veined leaves on a crawling stem

  • Parentage: Philodendron gloriosum × Philodendron pastazanum.
  • Growth habit: Creeping stem that travels across the substrate surface.
  • Foliage: Broad cordate leaves with pale venation and a softly raised surface.
  • Pot shape: Best matched with a wider container that allows the leading stem to keep moving.
  • Maturity cue: Large leaves develop more reliably when new nodes root into the mix and emerging blades expand in steady humidity.

Wide-planter growth from gloriosum × pastazanum

Philodendron 'Dean McDowell' was created by John Banta in 1988 from Philodendron gloriosum × Philodendron pastazanum and named after his friend Dean McDowell. The parent species are South American Philodendron species from wet tropical regions: Philodendron gloriosum is native to Colombia, while Philodendron pastazanum is native from Ecuador to Peru.

The visible stem should sit on or just above the substrate, with nodes in contact with the mix. Burying the stem too deeply can trap moisture around the growth points, while leaving the leading stem unsupported at the pot edge can slow new root formation. A loose top layer of airy mix helps new roots enter the substrate as the plant expands.

Even moisture, airy mix and horizontal stem contact

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light, around 10,000–20,000 lux, to support large leaves while protecting the soft surface from scorch.
  • Watering: Water once the top 30–40% of the mix has dried; the creeping stem performs best with even moisture and good oxygen around the roots.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky but moisture-retentive aroid mix with bark, coco fibre, perlite or pumice and a small humus fraction.
  • Pot shape: Repot sideways into a wider planter when the leading stem reaches the pot edge.
  • Humidity: Aim for 60% or higher where possible, especially while large new leaves expand.
  • Temperature: Keep at 18–28°C and protect the root zone from cold floors and winter draughts.
  • Feeding: Feed at low to moderate strength in active growth to keep new leaves well sized and evenly coloured.
  • Repotting: Position the creeping stem on top of the mix with nodes touching the substrate, then secure it gently if needed.

Leaf tears, edge marks and smaller new leaves

  • New leaf tears: Often linked to low humidity, handling or cramped growth; give the next leaf more space and stable moisture.
  • Yellowing around the stem base: Check whether the creeping stem is buried too deeply or sitting in constantly wet mix.
  • Brown leaf edges: Look for dry root pockets, low humidity or fertiliser buildup in the substrate.
  • Small new leaves: Usually means the plant needs stronger indirect light, healthier roots or more horizontal room.
  • Pale speckling: Inspect the broad leaf backs carefully for spider mites or thrips.

Pet and child safety

Philodendron 'Dean McDowell' is toxic if ingested. Like other Philodendron plants, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth and throat. Keep cuttings, damaged leaves and pruning waste away from pets and small children.

John Banta, Dean McDowell and the parent species

Philodendron belongs to Araceae, and the genus name comes from Greek roots meaning “tree-loving”. Philodendron 'Dean McDowell' is a documented gloriosum × pastazanum hybrid named for Dean McDowell.

Choose Philodendron 'Dean McDowell' for a broad-leaved crawling Philodendron with pale venation, horizontal growth and a wide-planter habit.

Nice bundle and great customer service
Size: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX/Edge 2 Accessories
I purchased this as an economical bundle for my Roborock Qrevo Curv. All of the parts seem to work and fit properly, which is good since I have actually had problems with the main brushes from a different maker. The only issue I ran into was that the Roborock website seemed to indicate that all of the Qrevo Curv models use the same filter size. Apparently the CurvX/Curv 2 Pro use a different filter. When I asked VIEWALL about it through Amazon messaging, they were kind enough to let me know about the difference and even offered to send me filters for my model. So you can count on excellent customer service from the company.

Affordable Roborock Qrevo CurvX Accessories That Fit Well
Size: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX/Edge 2 Accessories, Size: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX/Edge 2 Accessories
I have a Roborock Qrevo CurvX vacuum cleaner, so when I saw this replacement parts pack, I wanted to give it a try. The box contained everything needed to carry out the maintenance schedule recommended in the Roborock app. It even included a small screwdriver, which made changing the side brush easy — a thoughtful extra touch. I compared all of the replacement parts to the original ones and didn’t notice any major differences. Overall, the parts do seem slightly lower in quality than the originals, but not to the extent that I think it will significantly affect performance or durability. I replaced the side brush without any issues, and it fit properly. The mop pads were softer and fluffier than the originals and didn’t fit quite as snugly, although I don’t think this will have much impact on cleaning performance. The new filter installed perfectly, and the vacuum bags also fit as expected. Overall, I’m happy with this product. It’s reasonably priced and represents good value for money. I can see myself continuing to use these replacement parts in the future. I’m taking one star off due to the parts being of slightly lower quality

Value replacements
Size: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX/Edge 2 Accessories
As far as I can tell these are pretty solid replacements for the SAROS 10R. My original side brush was all torn up after just a few months of use so I found these replacement parts. Haven’t used the mop pads yet, but they are a similar design to the “upgraded” mop pads offered by Roborock which are superior to the standard one IMO. Everything else seems to be equal quality to the OEM parts, and at less than $12 I have no complaints on this kit.

Filter does not fit my Qrevo Arc. Photo shows size comparison between my old (very dirty) filter and the replacement filter.

Solid replacement parts kit — just skip the mop pads
Size: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX/Edge 2 Accessories, Size: Saros 10R/Qrevo CurvX/Edge 2 Accessories
This kit has been a handy all-in-one refresh for my robot vacuum. The main brush, side brushes, filters, and dust bags all fit correctly on my Qrevo, slid in without fuss, and have been performing on par with the originals — suction feels unchanged, the side brushes kick debris toward the intake properly, and the filters look and seat identically to the ones they replaced. My one real complaint is the mop pads. They're noticeably thinner and flimsier than the OEM pads, don't hold water as well during a run, and left streakier lines on my floors compared to what I'm used to. I've ended up going back to the original-brand mop cloths and just using this kit for the dry-cleaning parts, which have genuinely been a good value. Four stars — great kit minus the mops.
