Philodendron pastazanum
Pastaza Philodendron
Morphology
About
Philodendron pastazanum is a crawling terrestrial rainforest aroid from the humid lowland forests of western Amazonia spanning Ecuador and Peru, growing on deep organic litter or among roots on the shaded forest floor with constant moisture and rich humus. Unlike the majority of collector Philodendrons, it spreads horizontally rather than climbing — a stout rhizome creeps along the substrate, extending feeder roots into the organic matter below, while upright petioles carry large, broadly cordate leaves of matte deep green with a broad, open sinus, rounded posterior lobes, and clear pale venation. The combination of considerable leaf size with a terrestrial spreading habit makes pastazanum an ideal specimen for wide, low containers. As a parent of the hybrid 'Dean McDowell', it has also passed its size and broad leaf character into one of the most celebrated crawling hybrids in the hobby.

Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
