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.”

good for dry skin
This lotion feels lightweight and absorbs well. My skin feels more comfortable after applying it. I also like that it doesn’t have a fragrance.

The perfect glow
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is beautiful and feels amazing on the skin. The shimmer is the perfect amount. You do not need to be rich in melanin to use this product. I am very fair skin and this looks amazing on my skin color as well. It's very hydrating and absorbs pretty good. I do not like oily feeling, was scared this would feel oily and it was not. I loved it. The smell is great and not overpowering which was a huge plus for me. I love applying this on my legs when wearing shorts, dresses or skirts.

LOVE it!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I started using this Vaseline Illuminate Me Shimmering Body Oil a few days ago and I immediately fell in love with it. I'm definitely going to stock up because I never want to be without this wonderful product. A subscription is a must! After I do my daily shower routine, I top it off with this shimmering oil, and the last thing I do is put a little on my cheeks and forehead...instant glow! I have pale white skin that tends to be on the dry side. It's very hard to find products that will moisturizer my skin and give it a shimmering glow, especially my face. Well, this stuff is a miracle in a bottle - the moisture it puts into my skin, and the pretty shimmer it leaves behind is amazing. Even though it's only been a few days, the results haven't gone unnoticed by friends and family, especially my husband. But, most importantly, I see a difference in my skin and it makes me happy. The scent of this oil is VERY light, almost nonexistent. Plus, the oil consistency is not super thick, which allows it to absorb quickly. A little goes a long way, making it a great buy and worth every penny. Dry skin? Dull skin? Like a little sparkle? I'm telling you, you will love this stuff! Highy recommend.

Good oil, fun sparkles!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I finally finished the bottle I purchased and I think it's really quite good. Apply after the shower. Helps with winter dry skin and the sparkles are fun. The scent is pleasant but not excessively strong, which is a plus imo. It's a thin oil which is good - it doesn't feel too occlusive. Might repurchase after using up other products I have; I think this would be a better summer buy considering the sparkles aren't visible in the winter when I'm suited up in long sleeves and pants all day.
