Philodendron sodiroi aff x Philodendron pastazanum

A hybrid of Ph. sodiroi aff × Ph. pastazanum, two robust terrestrial-to-hemiepiphytic species from the cloud forests of South America. It produces large, heart-shaped leaves with prominent venation and dark, elegant petioles.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the broad leaves.
• Temperature: 59–77°F (15–25°C); an intermediate warm grower that appreciates stable conditions without cold drafts.
• Humidity: 60–80%; high humidity encourages vigorous leaf expansion and a lush, full habit.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the top layer to partially dry between waterings; avoid waterlogging and never let the roots sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Hybrid Advantage: This cross combines the striking leaf architecture of Ph. sodiroi aff with the impressive size and vigor of Ph. pastazanum, resulting in a fast-growing, adaptable plant with outstanding ornamental presence.

Arrival & Establishment Recommendation: Plants are shipped bare-root, well-established. Upon arrival, pot promptly in a well-draining aroid mix and water thoroughly to rehydrate the root system before placing in its final growing spot.
