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.

Tough toy, but the yellow tire broke at the seam
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
It was fun while it lasted and it got a lot of use, but it finally gave out after 6+/- months? Great tug toy. My dog is a 70# mutt with a strong bite and he's chewed through pretty much every other toy he's ever had. This one lasted longer than any of the others by quite a bit. He did zero chew damage to the tires, but the yellow tire in the middle broke at the seam. No tear, the seam just came undone at 90 degree angles. I'm going to look for something else this time but this wasn't bad considering how long it lasted and it wasn't very expensive. If I don't find anything tougher, I may purchase another one of these down the road.

Great chew toy
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
This is my second time buying the Tonka rings. My dog loves this chew toy. It does take him a bit to destroy them. I give this toy to him as a reward otherwise it be destroyed in 3 days. I have a pitty. So other dogs it should last longer. They are shin whackers and hurt when they connect. So I make sure to watch the dog and toy around small kids and elderly to be safe. They are heavy and made well.

Finally a toy we can leave out!
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread, Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
There are very few toys that we can leave out for our 11 month old golden. Which is a shame because as a small puppy, we taught him to bring us a toy to initiate play instead of nipping. Ropes or stuffies never lasted more than a few minutes so they always had to be taken away. One time he brought us a benenbone to play tug. So I tried this as a last resort. Finally something we can keep out for him! It’s not completely indestructible. He has figured out how to pull bits of tread off. But he chewed hard on it for a solid 20 minutes and it’s still intact with the exception of a few small tread pieces. Can’t say that for 99% of the other dog toys on the market! UPDATE: OK, so it's definitely not indestructible. After a few days of dedicated gnawing, he has almost chewed through the yellow ring so we can't leave him too unsupervised with it. I'm still going to leave it as 5 stars since it's the best tug toy that I have found so far and we have tried a lot! I may buy another one and just make sure I don't let him freely chew on it for any length of time.

Really wanted this toy to be better...
Size: 10.5 inch Rubber Flex Tread
I got this toy because I have 3 large dogs that all like to pull things. I can't always play with them even though they follow me everywhere wanting to play, so I saw this toy and thought it would be good because it would give them something they can tug away at with each other. I saw the thick rubber and thought it would last awhile, but I was wrong. My German Shepherd and Pyrenees mix chewed though the first tire rather quick, and before I realized, I was finding chunks of tire around the house and yard. Thankfully, none of them tried to eat it. It seems like it could be a good toy for an aggressive chewer IF they are smaller and not as strong as these large dogs are, but it did not hold up long to mine.
