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).
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.
Its much more amazing then what I expected. Its healthy, new leaves are coming in. Breathtaking!!!!!
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.
