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.”

Appearances Can Be Deceiving. Perfect Size
Color: Gold Triple Huggie
When I opened the package I was shocked at how tiny these appeared and my immediate thought was to return them without even trying them on. That would have been a mistake. I did order them because they were a smaller version of this look and I wanted them to look elegant and sophisticated rather than making a bigger statement. Well, that is exactly what I got. The gold color is very nice and once I decided to put one on, and got it through my chubby earlobe, it was absolutely perfect and the look I was going for. I have larger ear lobes and they still hang down enough for some movement rather than just cupping my earlobe like a true cuff. If you want this style with a more minimalist and elegant look, these are your earrings. I highly recommend them and be sure to try them on before you make a decision.

Tarnish quickly
Color: Gold Triple Huggie, Color: Gold Triple Huggie
Cute just wish they were better quality, they tarnished both on the part inside my ear and not as visibly but also on the outside, def not as shiny. I’ve had them for almost 2 months or so and the inside of my ear is turning green/ black. Like I need to use an alcohol wipe and qtip to clean the ear hole. Ive worn them almost always but I don’t wear them when I wash my hair. I wear them during my only body showers and also have in gym so maybe steam or sweat has added to moisture that tarnished it but I’m disappointed at how quick they tarnished.
