Big, wide, frilly leaves! Philodendron pastazanum leaves can grow to more than 70cm standing on upright cylindrical stems, if you let them.

Anthurium crystallinum has distinct white veined leaves that can grow up to 40cm – as it matures the leaves become more elongated, with fewer but more outstanding veins. It’s native to Panama and Colombia, and also often used in breeding hybrids with other Anthurium.
