Philodendron pastazanum

Philodendron pastazanum is a ground-creeping species in the Araceae family, with broad green leaves, long petioles and thick stems that move across the substrate surface. Mature leaves become large and broadly ovate to peltate, with visible venation and a wide blade held above the creeping stem.

The repent stem travels over the substrate and needs surface room as new leaves develop. A wide pot allows the plant to extend naturally while keeping the growth point above the mix.

  • Leaf shape: Broadly ovate to peltate green blades with a wide base.
  • Venation: Strong basal and lateral veins become clearer as leaves size up.
  • Growth habit: Thick creeping to repent stem that travels across the substrate surface.
  • Native range: Ecuador to Peru, associated with wet tropical forest.

Philodendron pastazanum care for creeping growth

Use a wide, stable pot for Philodendron pastazanum and keep the creeping stem visible above the mix. The roots need moisture and oxygen at the same time, so a chunky aroid substrate is safer than a dense, water-retentive potting soil.

  • Pot choice: A wide pot gives the creeping stem space to extend without being buried.
  • Light: Bright indirect light, with protection from direct sun that can mark the broad leaf surface.
  • Water: Water when the upper substrate has started to dry, then let the pot drain fully.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps large leaves expand with fewer dry edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, and protect the root zone from cold wet conditions.
  • Substrate: Use a coarse aroid mix with bark, mineral structure and fibre around the roots.
  • Repotting: Repot when the creeping stem reaches the pot edge, roots fill the container, or the substrate starts to break down.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at diluted strength.
  • Growth rate: Growth is usually steady indoors, with larger leaves developing when the stem has room to travel.

Philodendron pastazanum pruning, propagation and mineral substrates

  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves close to the petiole base and keep the creeping stem above the substrate surface.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem sections with at least one node and healthy root or aerial-root tissue.
  • Semi-hydro: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the rhizome-like stem stays above the medium and the roots remain oxygenated.
  • Training: Guide the stem across the pot surface rather than burying it into the mix.

Philodendron pastazanum stem, roots and broad-leaf issues

  • Soft creeping stem: Check whether the stem is buried or sitting against wet, compact substrate.
  • Yellowing leaves: Inspect roots if the mix stays wet deep in the pot.
  • Damaged leaf edges: Large leaves can mark from dry air, irregular watering or physical contact.
  • Root issues: Slow growth with yellowing leaves often points to poor drainage, compacted substrate or cold wet roots.
  • Pests: Check the leaf undersides, petioles and new growth for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron pastazanum safety and botanical background

Keep Philodendron pastazanum away from pets and children because its tissues contain calcium oxalate crystals. Sap may irritate sensitive skin.

Heinrich Wilhelm Schott published Philodendron in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst 3: 780 in 1829; the genus name comes from Greek-derived roots meaning “tree-loving.” Philodendron pastazanum was described by Kurt Krause in Notizblatt des Botanischen Gartens und Museums zu Berlin-Dahlem 15: 42 in 1940. The epithet pastazanum is formed from Pastaza with the Latinized ending -anum, meaning “of” or “from” Pastaza.

In a wide container, mature Philodendron pastazanum develops broad peltate leaves above a thick creeping stem that stays visible at the surface.

Favorite Mineral Sunscreen
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 5 oz.
This is my go to mineral sunscreen. It's very effective at protecting your skin from the harsh UV rays. It great to use for any water based activities, since it stays on your skin regardless of how wet it gets. I'm also able to use it under my eyes without it irritating them. Though it does leave behind a white cast after applying, but I personally don't mind it.

My favorite mineral sunscreen for Hawaii
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
My favorite mineral sunscreen for Hawaii. I just got back from a week in Maui. I took 3 different brands of mineral sunscreen. For Maui it has to say mineral to be allowed. Of the 3 the Blue Lizard was our favorite. It went on white but rubbed in the quickest. We applied in our room before going out for several hours and never got a burn the entire week. I only reapplied once on a hike. Would recommend Blue Lizard!

Great for very sensitive skin!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Set name: Tube - 3 oz.
Use this every day. It's my primer. Lol I have extremely sensitive skin to the point where one wrong move lands me in the ER. This worked for me. Slight greasiness but works well for me as I can't wear foundation. This at least hydrates and protects. Love it.

Lightweight glowing hydrating sunscreen
really love how this sunscreen feels so light and smooth on my skin without leaving any white cast at all. It blends in quickly and gives a natural, hydrated glow skin with hyaluronic acid and collagen. My skin feels moisturized all day, and it doesn’t get oily or greasy even after hours. It’s gentle enough for my sensitive skin and hasn’t caused any irritation or breakouts. it’s a great everyday sunscreen that keeps my skin protected and fresh.

Lightweight Sunscreen with Great Hydration
This sunscreen feels lightweight on the skin and blends in nicely without leaving a heavy or greasy feeling. I like that it gives SPF 50 protection while also adding hydration, so it works well as part of a daily skincare routine. It leaves the skin feeling soft and comfortable. The formula sits nicely under makeup or can be worn alone for a natural look. It absorbs well and does not feel sticky, which makes it easy to reapply when needed. A great option for everyday sun protection with added moisture.
