How to Care for the Plant

Water

Philodendron Pastazanum needs 0.8 cups of water every 12 days when it doesn't get direct sunlight

Pruning

Cutting back philodendron plants is beneficial if the plant is taking up too much space in the room, or if the plant looks long and leggy. This type of pruning is best done in spring or fall. You can safely give your philodendron a light trim any time of year to remove yellowing leaves and trim spindly growth.

Fertilizer

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Philodendron Pastazanum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Sunlight

These plants require medium to bright indirect light. If acclimated to it they can take a few hours of direct sunlight in the morning.

Soil

Philodendron pastazanum care requires free-draining soil. An aroid mix is best.

Temperature

An ideal temperature range for Philodendron pastazanum care is 45°F to 95°F (7°C – 35°C). Night temperatures should be between 60°F to 70°F (16°C – 21°C).

Container

I advise against using round pots which are the most commonly used pot for potted plants.

Every Philodendron Pastazanum is a toxic plant that contains calcium oxalate crystals.
