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 quality Cabin and air filter bundle pack. Very solid quality.
Size: 18-22 1.5L, Size: 18-22 1.5L
First off, I like that it's a combo pack instead of me having to buy each one individually and being able to change both at the same time. Now, I must say the quality of both of them is fantastic; I'm really impressed. It's not made out of cheap junk; it feels solid and seems like it will do a good job filtering out all the debris and dirt. It was extremely easy to install and fit perfectly like an OEM air filter and cabin air filter on my Honda Accord. The cabin air filter is definitely a solid piece, and you don't have to worry about it getting crushed or deforming as it's padded, I would assume the reason for the padding on the side of the cabin air filter is that no debris or dust sneaks through which gives it a snug fit which is very smart honestly. The same applies to the air filter that goes under the hood; it definitely feels like a quality piece. A quality filter definitely keeps outside odors and smells from coming inside the cabin, allowing you to get fresh, clean air when you turn your AC on. Overall, definitely a solid purchase, and I will definitely be back to buy this exact bundle pack in the future as it's well-built and fits like a glove. So, you're definitely getting great value for your money with this specific engine and cabin air filter combo pack. There are a lot of garbage ones out there, so if it were flimsy and felt like a cheap filter, I would be giving this one or two stars. But I'm actually quite impressed with this company, and it seems to be doing a fine job. My AC does work better after installing these new filters, and of course, the car runs better with the air filter installed.

Good Fit & Quality
Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid, Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid
This set which includes both the engine and cabit air filters are of good quality and fits my 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid well. The engine filter feels sturdy and well built. The cabin filter, although without charcoal infusion, has many folds which is more important when it comes to effective filtering of particles. The installation was easy and for the set, this set offers a good value.

Perfect fit!
Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid, Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid
This is a good value for a combo package which includes a cabin air filter as well as the engine air filter. Both filters were a perfect fit in my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. The cabin air filter airflow direction is clearly labeled and the pleats are sturdy. Installation was super easy- just drop the glove box cover, pop the cabin filter cover plate, pull out the grungy old filter and pop in the new one. Easy peasy. The engine air filter is also a perfect fit. No complaints or concerns here.

The Best Filter Jerry, The Best!
Size: 2" x 10" x 11"
I installed once and it seems to work like a charm. I probably need to go rinse it off since it's been months--but I no longer have Honda telling me I need to replace an air filter when I go get an oil change. They tried but I knew it wasn't mine. LOL. Easy to install, and extremely good quality. No gaps in filter area either.

Perfect fit for my fit
Size: 2" x 10" x 11"
Bought this for my Honda fit sport. Perfect fit for my fit. We shall see how it works out in the long run. I'm guessing every six months I'll wash it out, give it a light piling with the refresher kit I bought. The car doesn't get driven a lot during the year, so, doing it this way should be more than fine.
