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.

Decent pillow; medium-firm; heavy
Style: King - Medium
I was looking to replace my old latex pillow from BBB. I have tried several but finding just the right one has been elusive. Although expensive, I was confident this would be THE one. Sadly, it isn't. For a latex pillow, this IS really nice. It is comfortable and solid latex - hard to find. It is medium-firm and has decent spring back. But for me, it doesn't have enough sink. It is actually too firm and I felt my neck was cranked all night (I am 5'6", 135#, side sleeper, ordered the 6.5" one). I do think the cooling Purple grid works pretty well but at the same time, I could feel the grid under my pillow case. The pillow is very heavy.

It’s $30 to return and quickly STINKS from body heat
Style: Standard - Medium
Original review about $30 return below, but since it cost to return I gave it to my husband. He’s a hot sleeper so other than this pillow we’ve switched to all cotton, linen or wool bedding and it’s made a huge difference. (Polyester is plastic so it reflects your heat back to you and makes you sweat more and doesn’t breathe.) I truly would not have kept this pillow except $30 felt like a waste just to return and he got excited about it. So okay, it’s his. Well I’m the laundry queen in our household (he does all dishes) and I realized very quickly this pillow would need to be washed OFTEN. Like, once a week is NOT enough. Something about body heat and this material smells HORRIBLE. Washing it is obviously not easy, so I handwash the outer layer of the pillow with a very gentle soap (bought for silk). And then it has to hang dry. It doesn’t matter. I can clean it perfectly, no smell remaining whatsoever, but after two nights, it’s so strong I can smell it JUST STANDING NEAR THE BED. Look. I mentioned my hubs sleeps hot, sure. But he’s hygienic. This should not be such an issue. It’s never been an issue with any other pillows. The smell doesn’t even smell like him or like B.O. or anything. It’s awful and legitimately churns my stomach. But can I throw out the stupid $200 thing? Noooo. Now he’s attached. And I’m spending hours of my life each week washing it to keep from feeling sick sleeping near it at night. And to avoid having wasted $200. Hate this thing. DON’T BUY THIS STUPID PILLOW. Dropping from 2 stars to 1 Because of the smell. Original review: I thought I could buy this and see if the height would work for me. It didn’t, and pinched my neck instead. But now the *only* way to return it is to ship through UPS (not return to the UPS Store or Kohl’s or Whole Foods, which would be free). I was going to return it and try a different size, but such a high price just to *try* it is not worth it to me. I’ve returned much larger (defective) items in the past without hassle or cost (like an entire heavy duty garage shelf with broken pieces). Had I known, I would not have ordered in the first place, so I hope this saves someone else. As for the pillow itself, it was unique, but I couldn’t even really lay my head on it for more than a moment until I had let it air out for more than a week. It REEKED upon arrival. My husband said it smelled like ozone, and my brother compared it to the inside of an airplane. It burned my throat if I tried to lay on it for more than about 30 seconds at a time. Two and a half weeks later, the smell is still slightly there. So even if it was comfy for me, I would not keep this pillow.

Best pillow ever
Style: Standard – Low
I have to say, after decades of buying all sorts of pillows, trying to work for me and my short neck, this is THE one. I bought the low profile ones and OMG it is just perfect for me. I'm finally getting a good nights sleep without fighting a pillow that is too firm or doubling a pillow that is too soft and thin. It's also not as heavy as other memory foam pillows I've tried. I hate a heavy pillow. Yet, it isn't so light weight that it gets pushed off the bed easily if you change positions a lot during the night.

Amazing. The Perfect Pillow for Side Sleepers with neck pain!
Size: Queen (High Loft), Number of Items: 1
I do have to update my experience. This still is a very comfortable pillow, it's just I can't sleep with it under my head (it's now my hug pillow). After using for 2 weeks, I developed severe neck spasms. Pillows are very individulized and as it turns out, I probably need a firmer pillow than this "highly" comfortable pillow can offer. Will NOT change my rating. Wow! I'm impressed with this pillow so far. I'm a side sleeper mostly but chose the medium-high loft 6.2" as recommended which was the perfect height. I didn't see any taller options but this has turned out just right. I did hours of research before chosing this product, which turned out to be advantageous. It's not as cooling as my old memory foam pillow with the gel layer but it stays cool long enough that I don't have to move the pillow around to be comfortable before falling asleep. It's surprising lightweight. I like it much more than any memory foam I've ever had. The best news was that within a few days my headaches and neck pain have improved by 80%. I am really very impressed with the quality of this pillow. It is softer than I anticipated but still firm enough to keep my head elevated giving me perfect spine alignment and great support. It truly is the MOST COMFORTABLE supportive Pillow I have ever slept on! The smell is only minor at It's worst and has nearly disappeared after just 4 days. It is a mild latex smell but definitely NOT petroleum. It's in the moderate price range at ~$100 and worth every cent. High value for the price. I really really like this pillow and highly recommend it. Big fan! Might irder a 2nd as a backup if it doesn't last but it's so well made I feel that won't be a problem.
