Philodendron Pastazanum 10" Pot
Overview:
The Philodendron Pastazanum is a rare and highly coveted tropical plant, known for its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves that exude a luxurious, exotic appeal. Native to the rainforests of Ecuador, this plant’s striking foliage adds a touch of tropical elegance to any indoor space. As a creeping philodendron, the Pastazanum spreads horizontally, making it a perfect addition for plant enthusiasts who want a lush, low-maintenance plant that can fill out a space beautifully. Its deep green leaves have a slightly quilted texture and prominent veins, which make this plant stand out among other philodendrons.
Light/Water Requirements:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but brighter light encourages faster growth and larger leaves.
