Philodendron Pastazanum vs. Plowmanii

The current debate of a Philodendron Pastazanum Vs. Philodendron Plowmanii can be a little tough to solve. The difference between the two species lies in their appearance. A Philodendron Plowmanii has medium green petioles that are glossy as well as streaked on the upper surface. Undulations appear on the apex or top and near the leaf blade. They are usually reddish-purple.

On the other hand, Philodendron Pastazanum has firm petioles that are medium to dark green and semi-glossy. They have white longitudinal stripes. Furthermore, these plants have a V-shaped sinus which differentiates it from a Philodendron Plowmanii.
