LISA JAVIER GARDEN | Rare Anthurium and Philodendron | Part 2

A very rare and extremely beautiful heart-shaped Philodendron pastazanum . People often refer to it as “my Pasta” on Social Media. Originated from Ecuador from a state called Pastaza where it was collected during the 70’s. This phiodendron is a crawler meaning the main stem or rhizome is growing vertically and not horizontally. The petioles are growing vertically from the stem and carry the leaves. The rhizome should not be submerged and stay on the soil surface as this is where the leaves are emerging. Burying it may lead to rot and a decaying plant. This is one of the most common mistakes in Philodendron pastazanum care. Rhizomes of crawlers should not be buried in the soil.
