🌿 Philodendron pastazanum ‘Silver’ – Care Guide

Philodendron pastazanum ‘Silver’ is a stunning aroid admired for its large, heart-shaped, silver-sheened leaves with deep green veins and a crawling growth habit. Native to Ecuador, this rare variety of P. pastazanum stands out in any collection for its elegant foliage and velvety texture.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate dappled shade, but growth slows in low light.

• Avoid direct sun—it can burn the delicate leaves.

• Great for growing near a bright window or under a grow light.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.

• Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Ensure drainage holes to prevent root rot.

• Slightly reduce watering in cooler months.

🌱 Soil

• Thrives in a well-draining, chunky aroid mix:

  Suggested mix → coco peat or potting soil + orchid bark + perlite + charcoal or pumice.

• Aeration is key to prevent root rot, especially with this crawling species.

💦 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60–80%).

• Benefits from regular misting, pebble trays, or a humidifier.

• Dry air may cause leaf edges to crisp.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C (65–82°F).

• Keep away from cold drafts or air conditioning vents.

• Not frost-hardy—temperatures below 12°C (54°F) can cause damage.

🍃 Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

• Too much fertilizer can cause leaf damage—err on the lighter side.

• Avoid feeding during winter dormancy.

✂️ Maintenance & Growth Habit

• P. pastazanum is a crawling philodendron—its stem runs horizontally along the soil surface.

• Provide a wide pot or tray to support its growth direction.

• Clean leaves gently to maintain their silvery sheen.

• Repot when the stem begins reaching the edge of the pot.

🌿 Display Ideas

• Stunning as a tabletop or floor specimen in a wide decorative planter.

• Beautiful in terrariums, greenhouse cabinets, or as part of a tropical foliage wall.

⚠️ Note:

• Like most aroids, this plant is toxic if ingested—keep out of reach of pets and children.

• This plant is a slow but steady grower—rewarding with the right care and patience.
