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.”

hoping for a little more
Format: Kindle
I was hoping for a little more with this book as I loved the other series in this “world,” and hoping it’ll come in the 2nd book. During this book I kept skipping pages ahead trying to move things along, just didn’t really feel like much was answered or accomplished but I’m sure that was the authors point in trying to build everything up but for me it just dragged a bit…Will absolutely read book 2 to see how it all unfolds.

Can’t Wait For The Next Book!!!
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review This is the first book in the new series Kings Of Kilborn University by Elena Lawson and an absolutely fantastic start to the series. This follows after Boys Of Briar Hall Series and we even get to see AJ and the Crows. This is Becca’s story after she left Thorn Valley and it’s one intense ride to say the least. Trying to avoid the gang violence she previously suffered she gets a fresh start and a chance at independence something she’s been desperate for. When she meets brothers Kaleb and Hardin things get absolutely intense. They are the Kings of Kilborn and also her new tormentors and they become absolutely obsessed with her. This is a story you have absolutely got to read. The chemistry between the three is off the charts even though Becca just wants to keep away from them she can’t deny the connection. This book will seriously have you on edge, it’s got violence, gang war between the Saints and the O’Sullivan Sons, lots of twists and turns, and unexpected revelations at the end that will leave you needing book two asap. Am seriously looking forward to finding out what happens next for these characters. Definitely an awesome start to new series. Highly recommend this.

4.5 ⭐ I loved it!
Format: Kindle
Excellent story line. I have loved all in this book whisch was very smart. My favorite gentleman here is Aodhan since the begining I fell for him. The sex chemistry here was amazing! The only thing I did not like was: they talk about class in the university but we never had a scene in that scenario the rest very good.

Fun, Smutty, and Just A Little Bloody
Format: Kindle
Thoughts: 💡 This book was exactly what I expected it to be, and I rather liked that. It was twisted and the characters are tormented, more towards the dark end of morally gray. The story eased into the spice, but I would still say that half of the story was smut and some of it was kinky. 😈 I read the series Boys of Briar Hall, so there were some secrets that I already knew and others that I could guess. My enjoyment came from reading about how the characters dealt with their secrets. Coming into the series I knew that Becca would have an attitude and flaws and I really liked that Lawson stayed true to them. Becca’s development felt like it was earned. This wasn’t a dark novel where a billionaire sweeps in and all the FMCs worldly woes float away. She honestly had to learn to work and balance real issues and build some inner strength. I don’t know yet if these characters will have the same sort of immortality that was prevalent in Boys of Briar Hall, so far they don’t and I’m hoping it stays that way. Overall I can’t complain about the mechanics or grammar in the book. There were a few awkwardly stated phrases but I think it’s because they’re colloquially phrases so I let those slide. We do get three other POVs in the story and I think that both Kaleb and Hardin were well developed. The final POV was a bit of a surprise and I still don’t know what Lawson intends for the character so I’m excited to see what happens in her next book.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.
