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.”

Attractive, easy to install, not the strongest
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown, Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
We bought these shelves as part of a bathroom refresh. They installed easily, and were easy to align because of the included little bubble level. The shelves came with plenty of screws and mollies, especially because we only wound up installing two out of three. I like the storage basket, which holds a few rolls of toilet paper nicely. The shelves fit snuggly on the floating rods, especially after fully installed. The one downside is they feel a little cheap. The shelf does not feel super sturdy, so I wouldn't put anything really heavy on it. For bathroom decorations, it looks great, but this is not a system for storing lots of books.

Great set for the price!
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
Really nice shelf set for the price. The shelves look great, were easy to install, and are sturdy. I love the flexibility you have in setting the height of each shelf and the distance from one shelf to another if placing them together on a wall. You can arrange them how you'd like - straight under one another, staggered, on a diagonal. And the fact that you can place them on multiple walls is a great feature as well. Really happy with this purchase.

Very nice hidden bracket shelves
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown, Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
Nice shelves and easy to install. Simply put the first shelf bracket where you want, throw the provided level on it and Mark the holes. I had to use the drywall anchors since I didn’t have studs behind the desired location but you might luck out and catch one on your location. The shelves are really nice looking, light weight and should be a good fit just about anywhere.

Looks great and solves space issues
Size: 3pcs, Color: A. Brown
This is great for a small bathroom. It frees up your counter space and at the same time looks good. You can put your essentials like q tips, cotton balls, etc in decorative containers and add a small plant or sign and you have made your cluttered bathroom look awesome.
