Philodendron pastazanum Care Guide

Light Requirements

Thrives in bright, indirect light but tolerates lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching. In dim spaces, supplement with LED grow lights.

Watering Tips

Water when the topsoil feels dry. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot. Use filtered or room–temperature water to avoid shocking the roots.

Humidity Needs

Prefers humidity levels of 60–70% but adapts to average indoor conditions. Use a humidifier or group plants together for optimal moisture levels.

Temperature Preferences

Best kept between 18–25°C. Protect from cold drafts and keep away from heating vents.

Soil and Repotting

  • Soil Mix: Well–draining mix with peat, perlite, and bark for aeration.
  • Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot. Use a wide container to support its creeping growth.

Fertilizing and Growth

  • Feeding Schedule: Monthly feeding with balanced liquid fertilizer.
  • Boosting Growth: Increase feeding frequency during the growing season.

Propagation

Propagate through stem cuttings with at least one node. Root in water or moist soil until established.
