Philodendron Dean McDowell is a hybrid of two very popular indoor plants, Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron pastazanum. This particular species is an easy care plant that needs little attention.
Philodendron Dean McDowell has a terrestrial growth habit, which means that it will grow along the top of the soil. This plant will not climb so make sure you can provide it with ample space to grow. The leaves on Philodendron Dean McDowell can reach a width of 3-4' when mature, but as an indoor plant the leaves will likely stay a bit smaller -- around 1-2' in width.
Philodendron Dean McDowell care:
Make sure your plant is in a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely before watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water. Provide it with bright indirect light.
Additional info:
Philodendron is one of the most popular genuses of Aroid that are currently in cultivation, with over 450 named cultivars.
Philodendron vary greatly in their natural habits, but you will find a large number of them located in Latin America. Their leaves range from small to medium to large to gigantic! You'll find Philodendron with smooth, glossy foliage and some with velvety foliage!
If you allow Philodendron to climb, their foliage will usually get much larger the higher up they get. While this isn't true for all Philodendron species -- it is for most. We recommend a coco pole to really get your Philodendron growing!
For the most part, Philodendron are easy to care for.
The name Philodendron comes from the greek words "philo" (love or affection) and "dendron" (tree).

Can’t believe the size of these leaves already. I was expecting a smaller plant so I was pleasantly surprised upon opening my package. It came healthy and shipping was fast. Super impressed by everything in my order!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us! We are so thrilled to hear that this plant exceeded your expectations and you are loving everything from your order. Enjoy adding this beauties to your collection 🥰💚
The plant arrived on time and well packaged! Everything looked healthy— the soil wasn’t dry, leaves were all intact and not yellow, roots seem good. A couple weeks later and a leaf has pushed out :) I would love to buy from Canopyplant again!
So glad to hear your plant is already pushing out new growth! ✨ We’d love to send more your way in the future.
I got really excited after I’d heard about this plant and had seen some really great pictures. When my plant came (always so quickly) it was in great shape and had no damage on it, other than a scratch or something barely perceptible on one leaf).
I can’t wait to see how this plant grows. But even currently, as a small plant, he looks great with all my other ones. He kind of shakes up how things look. (In a good way).
Canopy always delivers stellar plants and I can’t stop ordering. 😍
So glad he’s already making a statement in your collection! ✨ Can’t wait for you to see how he grows—thank you for trusting us again and again.
I have been looking for a Dean McDowell for so long! The plant arrived well-packaged and healthy. It already put out several leaves in just a couple of weeks.
This is my first time ordering from Canopy Plant Co and they exceeded my expectations. It arrived within three days and everything is healthy and beautiful!
I'VE BEEN WANTING ONE FOR A WHILE I WISH SHE WAS BIGGER BUT IM STILL HAPPY WITH HER
This plant has grown so much since I acquired him in 2021. Received with 3 leaves and see photo and video of my big boii now! He is the topic of conversations when I have parties and guests in my house!!!

I love this plant and is growing already thank you so much.
You can’t go wrong with Canopy. I’m a repeat customer for good reason. Every plant, including this Dean McDowell, always arrives in healthy condition and is exactly as promised.
The first plant was in not good condition when I got it and u was very nice to send a new one it was in better condition thanks
From first time customer
Beautiful plant, great packaging!
All plants that have arrived are wrapped wonderfuly. I love in MT so the weather is a little harsh compared to where these plants are used to. Unfortunately my Dean must have got either to cold or too thirsty with shipping. UPS does not deliver to me on Saturdays due to location so my plant sat in a warehouse all weekend. I do see new growth and have no doubt it will make a full recovery. Overall im very happy and will still make orders in the future when it gets warm again.
Really nice plant. It was well packaged and shipped quickly.
Plant arrived in great shape….Packaging couldn’t have been any better ! Order it, you won’t be disappointed !
Its much more amazing then what I expected. Its healthy, new leaves are coming in. Breathtaking!!!!!
I’m absolutely in love with my Dean McDowell! It is growing new leaves every week. This plant arrived happy, healthy and in perfect condition. I truly love ordering from canopy plant co and will look forward to placing another order soon!
That’s amazing to hear! Weekly new leaves are such a treat—so glad your Dean McDowell is thriving and bringing you joy.
