Philodendron verrucosum 2 x Philodendron pastazanum (seedling)

A compelling hybrid between Phil. verrucosum and Phil. pastazanum, combining the broad, rounded leaf shape of pastazanum with the glossy dark green coloration and visible venation of verrucosum. Smooth, light green petioles without trichomes give this hybrid a cleaner appearance than pure verrucosum selections. Offered as a seedling — a great opportunity to grow this unique cross from an early stage.

• Light: Bright indirect light; promotes vigorous growth and the best leaf coloration. Tolerates moderate shade. Avoid direct sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm-growing; thrives between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (65–85%). A humidifier or enclosed growing space is recommended.
• Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist but well-drained. Allow the top inch to dry slightly between waterings; avoid waterlogging.
• Growth Habit: Terrestrial to hemiepiphytic; can be grown with or without a support structure, though a moss pole will encourage larger leaf development over time.

Additional Notes:

Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.
