Philodendron mexicanum

Philodendron mexicanum is a wet-tropical climbing species with glossy, arrow-shaped green leaves and red undersides that are especially visible on juvenile growth. As the plant matures, the blades become larger and more defined, with the climbing stem producing aerial roots at the nodes.

Younger leaves show the red-backed colour most clearly, while older foliage develops the broader sagittate outline typical of the species.

  • Leaf shape: Arrow-shaped to hastate blades with a broad base and pointed tip.
  • Leaf colour: Glossy green upper surfaces with red undersides most noticeable on younger leaves.
  • Growth habit: A climbing Philodendron with aerial roots along the stem.
  • Native range: Recorded from Mexico to western Colombia in wet tropical forest conditions.

Philodendron mexicanum care for climbing growth

Give Philodendron mexicanum a moss pole, plank or other vertical support so the stem can attach as it lengthens. Bright indirect light keeps the growth compact and reduces stretched internodes, while harsh direct sun can mark the leaves, especially on softer new growth.

  • Support: A vertical surface gives aerial roots somewhere to attach as the plant produces larger, more defined blades on upright growth.
  • Light: Bright indirect light, with protection from strong direct sun.
  • Water: Water when the upper part of the substrate has dried, then let excess water drain fully.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new leaves open cleanly, especially during active growth.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark, coarse fibre and mineral components so air reaches the roots.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, away from cold windows and cold wet substrate.

Philodendron mexicanum leaf size, roots and pests

  • Small leaves or long gaps between nodes: Usually linked to weak light, missing support or both.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Check for dense, wet substrate around the roots.
  • Dry new leaves: Increase humidity around active growth and keep watering consistent without leaving the pot waterlogged.
  • Pests: Inspect new leaves, petioles and undersides for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron mexicanum safety, name and publication

Keep Philodendron mexicanum away from pets and children, as the plant contains calcium oxalate crystals. Sap may irritate sensitive skin.

Heinrich Wilhelm Schott published the genus Philodendron in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst 3: 780 in 1829. The genus name comes from Greek-derived roots meaning “tree-loving.” Philodendron mexicanum was described by Adolf Engler in Flora Brasiliensis 3(2): 143 in 1878. The species epithet mexicanum means “Mexican” or “from Mexico.”

I LOVE THIS BLANKET!!
Color: Pink, Size: Throw
Just buy it right now because it’s very affordable, high quality, and soooooooo silky soft. Feels similar to a Minky couture blanket, only with longer fuzzies. I got the one sided raspberry pink looking colored throw size and I love it. No regrets, easy to wash, and doesn’t fall apart in washer. I love it and will buy more in the future, highly recommend🩷🩷🩷

Great product!
Color: Double Sided Tie-dye Pink, Size: Throw
We ordered the pink tie-dye colors which is gorgeous so we ordered 2 more in different colors. They are soft and the weight is perfect. A great blanket for bed or snuggling on the couch.

Lola look for a fraction of the price
Color: Cream White, Size: Twin, Color: Cream White, Size: Twin
I bought two of these blankets in twin size to protect our leather chairs from our cats' claws, after giving up on finding slip covers that looked good. I draped and pinned the blankets with a single large safety pin, and they pretty much stay put whereas other throws I've tried this with have not. I think it's because they're not too heavy or too light. I do need to adjust them from time to time after people have sat in them. I heard these blankets are a good substitute for the pricey Lola blankets, known for their bubbly texture. I haven't seen a Lola blanket, but these are certainly much less expensive and very nice, so soft and with the same bubbly look. The bubbles are not quite as pronounced as I'd hoped, but I have not tried following the manufacturer's suggestion of fluffing up by tumble-drying on cool with tennis balls. I'm happy with this purchase, and my cats are too.

Luxury at its finest. Must have. You will not be disappointed!
Size: Twin(60" x 80"), Color: Tie-dye Coffee
This blanket is a must have! I purchased several to compare and decide which one was going to make the cut. There was absolutely no competition. This is the softest, most luxurious, coziest and authentic looking blanket. I told my sweetheart THIS is the cozy time blanket! Luxury at its finest! I have real vintage for jackets that are extremely luxurious and this rivals them with a clear conscience!Absolutely stunning and extremely high class feeling and appearing. Also semi-heavy and very warm . Upgrade to any space
