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.”

True to size and good quality
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Purple B, Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Purple B
My daughter loves the colors and says they are comfortable. They are true to size. She has had them a few months and they still look good. My child is very rough on shoes.

Great shoes for everyday wear and baseball practice
Size: 1 Big Kid, Color: Blue Orange a
So far, my son has really enjoyed these shoes. He wears them every day, and they’ve held up pretty well, even with baseball practice. They seem comfortable for him, and they’ve handled regular use better than expected. I’m very happy with the quality and durability so far. For everyday wear and active use, these have been a great choice. I’d give them 5 out of 5 stars and would definitely recommend them.

Awesome shoes for an active kid
Size: 6 Big Kid, Color: Blue
These shoes are absolutely AWESOME. We've tried a lot of these lesser known Amazon brands as well as big brand names and these Kubuas are great. Comfortable, light, can be worn all day. My 10 year old is on his second size. The old pair that he's outgrown now is still in pretty good shape. Highly recommend!

He loves them.
Size: 4.5 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange
Great construction and very durable. I’ve got an 8 year old boy who loves to play rough. He wears them through mud, grass, gets them wet, anything you can imagine. They clean really easily, which is a lifesaver when you’ve got an 8 year old. He loves the colors and his friends think they’re cool, which is a bonus. They support his arches well, fit just right, and are true to size. These can be worn as daily walkers, gym shoes, running shoes, or when he wants to look fly. These grip is strong - great for gym class. Very affordable and well worth it. Shipped quickly. Multiple uses for sports, walking, basketball, soccer, whatever. The laces are tough and the tongue is well constructed, as is the heel and the sole. Works perfectly.

The BEST kids tennis shoes
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Black/Green
I just bought a second pair of these for my son. The first pair lasted a whole school year, which is pretty good for an active 4 year old, and he still loves them though they look a bit beat up. Got him a new pair for his birthday and he’s so excited. Worth every penny. True to size and they are apparently very comfortable.
