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.”

Great Caddy
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Perfect for our needs. Holds everything we need and keeps things tidy and well drained which also keeps the sink rim clean around the faucet. The size is nice and I appreciate the lover tier for putting the drain plugs as we have three of varying types. It keeps them clean and out of the way when not in use. I also love that the brush caddy hanges off the side instead of taking space like other designs do. It looks nice and just all around makes the sink area look tidier. The height is good and while lightweight it stays out.

Nice clutter catcher!
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
I've been using this for quite some time now since I purchased it I wanted to give it time to make sure that I actually used and experienced product before reviewing. I haven't really had any issues with it it holds everything it's been sturdy enough that when I'm doing dishes I can just push down on the pumps on it without any issues. The draining portion of it is a little Hit or Miss sometimes it drains properly other times it drains onto the side of it but I think that is just placement of the tray the one that I have it's not fully engulfing the whole bottom part so there is spots for water to leak through. The side rack is also convenient I use it to store my scrubbies and straw cleaners I did have to put something down to prevent water from getting behind my sink on that spot but other than that everything's been fine my sponges fit up underneath it fine. the only thing that would make it better is if it had a scrub Daddy or Mommy holder!

The Caddy fulfills it's duty
Color: Black, Size: Medium
This caddy turns out to be everything I hoped it would. So often I'll purchase an item and it turns out to be cheaply made or wonky. But this 2-Tier Kitchen Sink Caddy fulfilled it's mission and cleaned up my sink area. Everything is handily stored in it's compartments.
