Philodendron maximum

Philodendron maximum is an Araceae species from tropical South America, grown for broad green foliage and adult leaves with a semi-glossy surface. Mature blades can develop a narrowly ovate, sagittate or triangular-sagittate outline, giving older plants a strong vertical presence on support.

The climbing stem needs a stable vertical surface, while the expanding blades need open space around the plant. Bright filtered light, warmth, steady moisture and a chunky substrate help the roots stay aerated as the plant gains size.

Broad adult leaves and climbing growth in Philodendron maximum

  • Family: Araceae, the aroid family.
  • Foliage: Large green leaves with a semi-glossy surface.
  • Leaf shape: Adult blades can be narrowly ovate, sagittate or triangular-sagittate.
  • Petioles: Sturdy petioles hold the blades away from the climbing stem.
  • Growth habit: A climbing Philodendron that needs vertical room as it matures.
  • Indoor development: Leaf size increases gradually on support when warmth, light and root health stay steady.
  • Growth rate: Moderate to strong in warm, bright, humid conditions, slower in cooler or darker periods.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

Indoor growth for Philodendron maximum

Philodendron maximum develops from an elongating stem with aerial-root nodes. A pole, plank or similar support gives the stem contact points, while an airy, evenly moist substrate keeps oxygen around the thicker roots.

The species is associated with wet tropical forest in South America, with records from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia. Indoors, the same growth pattern needs warm temperatures, filtered light and enough space for each new blade to open without rubbing against a wall, shelf or neighbouring plant.

Care for Philodendron maximum foliage

  • Light: Place Philodendron maximum in bright filtered light. Harsh direct sun can mark large leaves.
  • Water: Water after part of the mix has dried. A large pot that stays wet for too long can stress the roots.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protected from cold windows, cold floors and draughts.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with enough structure to stay open around thick roots.
  • Support: Give the climbing stem a sturdy pole, plank or similar vertical surface before the plant becomes heavy.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the mix has compacted or the support no longer suits the stem height.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce feeding when light levels and growth slow.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node, kept warm and humid while rooting.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base or shorten an overlong stem above a healthy node.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Semi-hydro can work when roots are adapted gradually and the reservoir stays clean and oxygenated.

Philodendron maximum leaf tearing, yellowing and slow growth

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check for wet roots, old compacted mix or a pot that dries too slowly.
  • Damaged new leaves: Expanding blades can tear if humidity drops or the leaf rubs against nearby surfaces.
  • Slow growth: Cold conditions, weak light or root stress can interrupt leaf expansion.
  • Pests: Inspect leaf backs, petioles and new growth for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron maximum toxicity

Philodendron maximum has insoluble calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves, petioles and stems, so it should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plants.

Botanical background of Philodendron maximum

Philodendron was described by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode, and the genus name comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving. Philodendron maximum was described by K. Krause and published in Das Pflanzenreich in 1913. The species epithet maximum is the neuter form of Latin maximus, meaning largest or greatest.

A large-growing climbing Philodendron with broad semi-glossy leaves, sturdy petioles and a strong mature form on support.

Worth the money. Get it.
Style: 20' Rhino Sewer Hose
I am a full time RV'er and these are the best hoses I have worked with. At this point I just do not buy anything else unless I have no choice. Yes, everything fails over time but these last the longest. If you want solid equipment you just don't have to worry about, get these hoses.

Secure, clean hose, poor durability.
Style: 20' Rhino Sewer Hose
The connectors, and plugs work great. I operate an Arctic Fox 990 TC. Plugging the ends keeps any residual in the hose and prevents odors and they ends are very easy to operate. I operate an RV in a climate controlled environment, dumping grey water roughly once every day or two for odor control, with occasional trips dumping more like 5-7 day intervals. I only use one of the two hoses and after about 175 cycles the hose split apart near the end. I shortened it at the break and reattached but within another 10 uses the hose split in the middle. Extending and contracting the hose is hard on it and weakens the folds in the plastic the point of failure within certainly less than 200 uses at 50+F temperatures, so don't expect great longevity out of the hose. I image if you dump in cold temperature, subject it to a lot of movement by leaving it hooked up outside the hose could survive even fewer extensions. If you only dump a few times a year it may last you twenty years or more. The good news is that if you pay attention you'll likely notice the hose split before you run the sewage through it, so if you carry a spare you'll at least be able to dump. I ordered another pair so I can always have at least one spare on hand and I figure my failure rate will be about once every 9 months or so. Camco makes other hoses, including an Extreme that likely doesn't pack tightly enough for two 10' sections in my bumper. I don't need crush resistance, I need durability, so the more expensive hose really wouldn't be an improvement for me since I wouldn't be able to carry a backup. I'm guessing all of these hoses will have a similar durability limitation, especially if extended when cold. I'd like to see a slightly softer, more durable material that will still hold it's shape when dumping, but maybe that's not possible with current plastic characteristics. Main take away is make sure you've got a spare sewer hose section on hand if you have a way to store it.

Durable, Reliable RV Sewer Hose
Style: 20' Rhino Sewer Hose
The Camco RhinoFLEX sewer hose appears to be extremely durable and tough — exactly what you want when it comes to RV sewer equipment. This is one product where you absolutely don’t want leaks, and this hose feels solid and dependable. I really like that it comes in two 10‑foot sections. You only have to use the length you actually need to reach the dump station, which keeps things cleaner and easier to manage. The fittings lock on securely, and the hose holds its shape well during use. Overall, a strong, well‑designed sewer hose that gives you confidence every time you dump your tanks.
