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.”

Upsetting
Format: Paperback
I’ve not finished reading the book yet, because it’s filled with what I know to be the truth and it’s upsetting to me. Therefore, I have to read it in doses. It easy to understand and the author did an excellent job.

A revelatory book with the fingerprint of The Holy Spirit!
Format: Paperback
I have other books by Dr. Mark Chironna and as usual this book did not disappoint. The wealth of insight Dr Chironna has will cause you to get revelation! Outside of the Bible I can not say this about any other authors except for the books I have by Dr Chironna. I get so much revelation that I have to stop reading it to write it down. The Prophetic Integrity is a must read. I believe all Spirit led pastors and leaders in the body of Christ need to read and teach out of this book.

A pastoral and prophetic epistle to the Western Church
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I was so glad to read this book! Joash Thomas writes with an accessible blend of humor, vulnerability, and incisive observation as he reminds the Western Church of the inheritance of the saints across time and around the world. With pastoral sensitivity and prophetic courage, Joash brings the global heritage of the Church into the spotlight in a kind, clarifying, and convicting way. The book is structured in three parts: the first clears away some of the roadblocks to considering a justice-oriented lens, the second explores and illuminates the necessary work of decolonizing our doctrine and praxis, and the third invites readers to imagine an alternate path forward. I liked how the book is sprinkled with story-telling—both examples from global church history and story-telling ways churches today are prioritizing justice. I also found his idea for shifting "mission trips" to "vision trips" that see what God is already doing to be very provocative and hopeful. My favorite part of the book was the exposition on the Lord's Prayer. Each chapter ends with reflection questions, making this a great resource for a church small group or book study. *** A few of my favorite quotes: "One of the most beautiful, anti-colonial things about the Table is the way it visibly unifies all of us in Christ, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, gender, or politics. The Table is a rare place on earth where people who have nothing else in common suddenly find themselves reminded of how they hold the most important thing in common with each other, which is being united by the body and blood of Christ. The colonizer's gospel divides to conquer, but the gospel of Christ unites to heal. In a Western church that is highly divided on issues of theology, race, politics, and socioeconomics, the Table can be a physical place of healing and unification. Unless we learn to receive the body of Christ with our enemies at the Table (which requires allowing our theological and political enemies to participate at the Table with us), we will never know what it looks like to become the body of Christ for this broke world in need of healing." pg. 89 "Many Western Christians today are uncomfortable (and in many cases, even made fearful) by the idea of Christians living at peace and in the minority in a highly pluralistic society, even though this has been the reality for the vast majority of non-Western Christians around the world." pg. 109 "When we start prayer acknowledging that we're children of this heavenly Father, we are reminded that we are a part of a cosmic order much bigger than ourselves...When we ask God to give us our daily bread, we are asking God to give ALL his children their daily bread...God still takes the side of people in poverty and oppression because they have no one else who can advocate on their behalf. God's preferential option for the poor is not because of the goodness of people in poverty; it is because of the goodness of God." pg. 137-139 "In situations like this, we must set aside our desire for success (in this case, transforming the entire political climate of a nation) and prioritize faithfulness (doing what we can with what we have), even if this means we have to operate from the margins." pg. 158
