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.”

Amazing shoes
Size: 8, Color: Green
Love these shoes! I bought them for a school dance and they were totally comfortable. I love the lace up on them. The only thing I struggled with, is having wider feet, it was a little difficult to fit my foot on the base, but that wasn't the shoes fault at all, they held up nicely and they worked for my needs.

So comfy! True to size! BUY THEM
Size: 9, Color: Red, Size: 9, Color: Red
These heels are my new favorite go to! Normally, I can’t stand my heels after 2 or 3 hours. These heels I can wear for hours on end without any discomfort! No blisters and they didn’t even require me breaking them in. Just super comfortable from the first wear. They’re decently tall so I was surprised how comfortable they are. I love wearing them and I get so many compliments on them. If you’re looking for a pair to wear for long hours, these are seriously the best! They look just like the pictures and fit true to size. I am a size 9 and ordered a 9 and these heels fit perfectly! Just buy them! I plan on purchasing more colors in the future.

Comfy & cute!
Size: 7, Color: Olive Green
I had my doubts that such cute high heeled shoes could be comfy, but these were comfy right out of the box & made it through a wedding with lots of dancing. Comfy, cute & a big hit! To add: I learned that sizing up by 1/3 size works best for me for all dress shoes, and the 7 worked best for my regular 6.5 size.
