Philodendron nangaritense

Philodendron nangaritense is an Araceae species from southern Ecuador, known for creeping terrestrial growth, broad green leaves, rough red to maroon petioles and warm pink to copper-toned emergent foliage. New leaves mature through softer tones into broader green blades, while the textured petioles remain a key feature as the plant develops.

The stem extends across the substrate surface, so Philodendron nangaritense needs horizontal room and an airy mix that holds light moisture without staying dense around the roots.

Copper new growth and creeping stems in Philodendron nangaritense

  • Family: Araceae, the aroid family.
  • Leaf colour: Pink to copper new growth matures into broader green leaves.
  • Petioles: Red to maroon petioles with pale tubercles and a rough surface.
  • Growth habit: Creeping terrestrial growth with the stem extending across the pot surface.
  • Indoor spread: Can broaden steadily across a wide pot as the creeping stem produces spaced nodes.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate in warm, bright, humid conditions, with slower growth during cooler darker periods.
  • Name origin: The epithet refers to the Nangaritza area of southern Ecuador.

Philodendron nangaritense care for a creeping stem

Choose a wider pot that gives the creeping stem room to move across the surface. Keep the stem sitting on top of the substrate, with roots growing into a chunky mix that holds some moisture while draining quickly.

Philodendron nangaritense is associated with humid forest in the Nangaritza region of southern Ecuador. Indoors, warm temperatures, filtered light, steady moisture and good root aeration help the creeping stem and textured petioles develop cleanly.

  • Pot choice: A wider container gives the creeping stem more usable surface than a narrow deep pot.
  • Repotting: Repot when the stem reaches the pot edge, the roots fill the container or the mix has compacted.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral structure around the roots.
  • Water: Water after the upper substrate begins to dry, then allow full drainage.
  • Light: Bright indirect light, with protection from harsh direct sun on tender new leaves.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps new leaves expand without sticking or tearing.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and avoid cold, wet root conditions.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce feeding when light levels and growth slow.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings with at least one node in warm humid conditions and an airy propagation medium.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base or trim an overlong creeping stem above a healthy node.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Semi-hydro can work when roots are adapted gradually and the reservoir stays clean and oxygenated.

Philodendron nangaritense petiole, stem and leaf issues

  • Stem softness: Check whether the creeping stem has been buried or kept against wet, compact substrate.
  • Stuck new leaves: Improve humidity around active growth and avoid sharp dry-to-wet swings in the mix.
  • Leaf-edge stress: Look for dry air, irregular watering or root stress.
  • Pests: Inspect emergent leaves and textured petioles for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron nangaritense toxicity

Philodendron nangaritense contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, so keep leaves, petioles and stems away from pets and children that may chew plant material.

Botanical background of Philodendron nangaritense

The genus Philodendron was published by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode 3: 780 in 1829, and the genus name comes from Greek-derived roots meaning “tree-loving.” Philodendron nangaritense was described by Thomas B. Croat and published in Aroideana 44: 430 in 2021. The epithet nangaritense is formed from Nangaritza with the Latin place-name ending -ense, meaning “from” or “of” Nangaritza.

A creeping Ecuadorian Philodendron with copper-toned new growth, rough red petioles and broad green leaves that spread across a wide pot.

Great daily chair
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a great chair and very comfortable. I'm hard on fabrics and the material is excellent for me. I didn't think I would like the headrest (because I've never had one), however, I enjoy it's use at times. The wheels roll very easily and the seat height is perfect. The seat is easy to keep clean. I've had this chair for 3 months with daily use and it looks brand new. I would buy this chair again.

Cheaply made but functional
Color: Black
Pros: The headrest is highly adjustable. Even if you're tall you'll likely be able to tilt it so that you can rest your head on it while reclining. The instructions for putting it together are easy to follow. It's perfectly serviceable as a desk chair with no glaring defects. The mesh material keeps your body cool and dry even when sitting in it all day. Cons It's obviously very lightweight and cheaply made. This does make the chair easier to move, but this doesn't really feel like a $180 chair at all. More like a $120 or even $100 chair. The chair back is attached to the chair seat by a plastic bracket. Nearly every desk chair I've had in the past has had their back attached to the bottom with a metal bracket, and even those start to bend out of shape after a year or so. While reclining a good portion of your weight will be resting on this plastic bracket, and I simply cannot see this cheap plastic lasting for very long supporting anyone's body weight over a long period of time. If you buy this chair, make sure to get the warranty. The armrests are closer together than on most chairs, which creates a claustrophobic feeling of being squeezed by them. You get used to it eventually, and you can just put the armrests up if you want to, but a way to adjust the armrest width would have been nice. The lumbar support doesn't really do anything at all. It only presses against my back at the most intense setting, and even then not very much. There is no incremental recline setting. Either you are fully reclined, or sitting fully upright. Luckily the full recline setting is about perfect for me, but for a $180 chair you'd expect a bit more settings here.

Great Chair
Color: Black
Very comfortable chair! I’m a big guy - 6’ 2”, 285 lbs. and it fits me perfectly. The head rest is a nice touch and I appreciate it more than I thought I would. Lumbar support is in just the right position and is adjustable (more support vs. less support). It does adjust up and down but not very much. Was also super simple to put together although I did have to crank on the screws that attach the back of the arm rest to the back of the chair. If you’re looking for a place to plant your butt for 8 hours, this is your chair.

DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY! DO NOT BUY!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Absolute garbage chair. Only had for six month and the mesh on the seat has already come apart after using it for my home office. Chair was squaking after only three months and now I can't even sit in it cause it sags. Can't even get my money back for this cheap garbage.
