Philodendron mayoi

Philodendron mayoi is a Brazilian species in the Araceae family, known for glossy green leaves that become more deeply divided as the plant matures. Juvenile leaves are simpler, while older blades develop a cut, fingered outline with divisions reaching toward the midrib.

This Philodendron is best described as a scrambling to scandent species rather than a strict upright climber. In a pot, the stems may spread outward from the base or be guided gently onto a small support, with mature foliage becoming more sharply divided than the first juvenile leaves.

Divided leaves and scandent Philodendron mayoi stems

  • Foliage: Glossy green leaves with a divided outline.
  • Juvenile growth: Young leaves are less divided and become more cut with maturity.
  • Growth habit: Scrambling to scandent growth, with stems that can spread or be guided upward.
  • Origin: Brazilian species from Brasília D.F. and Goiás.
  • Habitat context: Brazilian seasonally dry tropical conditions, with care that favours air around the roots and steady warmth.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

Juvenile and mature leaf shape in Philodendron mayoi

Young Philodendron mayoi plants can produce simpler blades before the more divided mature foliage appears. As the plant gains size, the cuts become more pronounced and the leaf outline develops a sharper, more fingered shape.

The stems extend outward or upward depending on how the plant is grown. A small support can guide scandent growth, while a wider pot gives spreading stems room to develop without crowding the newest leaves.

Care for Philodendron mayoi in a pot

  • Light: Give Philodendron mayoi bright filtered light. Weak light can produce stretched growth and smaller, less clearly divided leaves.
  • Water: Water when part of the potting mix has dried, then let the pot drain fully. Long wet periods around spreading stems can stress the roots.
  • Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix that drains quickly while holding light, even moisture.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new divided leaves expand without dry edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with protection from cold draughts and cold wet substrate.
  • Support: Use a small pole, plank or stake if you want to guide scandent stems upward.
  • Pot choice: Choose a stable pot with enough surface space for the spreading stem base and free drainage below.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the substrate breaks down, or spreading stems need more stable space at the surface.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at diluted strength.
  • Growth rate: Growth is usually moderate indoors, with clearer leaf division developing as the plant gains size.

Philodendron mayoi pruning, propagation and mineral substrates

  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves close to the petiole base, or trim an overextended stem above a node.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node and healthy aerial-root tissue.
  • Semi-hydro: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the roots stay warm, oxygenated and not stagnant.
  • Training: Guide flexible stems early if you want a more upright plant shape.

Philodendron mayoi leaf division, dry edges and root stress

  • Less divided leaves: Juvenile leaves are naturally simpler, but weak light can also reduce leaf size and definition.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check for wet roots or a dense potting mix that stays damp too long.
  • Crispy margins: Dry air, underwatering or heat stress can mark the thin edges of divided leaves.
  • Root issues: Slow growth with yellowing leaves often points to compacted substrate, poor drainage or cold wet roots.
  • Pests: Inspect the cuts, leaf backs and new growth for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron mayoi toxicity

Philodendron mayoi contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children that may chew leaves, petioles or stems.

Philodendron mayoi name origin and botanical background

Heinrich Wilhelm Schott described the genus Philodendron in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode; its name combines Greek philo- or philein, meaning loving, and dendron, meaning tree. Philodendron mayoi was described by Eduardo G. Gonçalves and published in Kew Bulletin in 2000. The species epithet mayoi honours the aroid botanist Simon J. Mayo.

With glossy divided leaves and spreading scandent growth, Philodendron mayoi develops a distinctive mature outline in an indoor aroid collection.

Comfortable Seating
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I honestly didn’t expect this chair to be this comfortable, but it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I sit at my desk for long hours every day, and the adjustable air-pump lumbar support has been a total game changer. I love that I can fine-tune the firmness depending on how my back feels that day. My lower back pain has noticeably improved since switching to this chair.The seat is wide, thick, and very supportive without feeling stiff, which makes long work sessions much more comfortable. The armrests are another big plus—they adjust in so many directions that I can always find the perfect position for typing, reading, or relaxing. The chair feels extremely sturdy and well built, and it gives me confidence knowing it supports higher weight without wobbling.Assembly was straightforward and took about 20 minutes. Overall, this chair feels premium, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, all-day office chair.

Nice chair, w/ good cust support
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I apologize for length, but if I am doing a review for other people I assume you want to have as much info as possible to make a decision. I feel this chair is for tall/fat/both so will review it as such. At 6’4” @ 350lbs I fit into both, but reviewing based upon my body, yours is different so adjust according. TLDR – Would buy again, cavernous comfy chair with excellent customer support. Only personal dings against chair are the back could be taller, but added back due to support. Parts + Fit/Finish + Assembly: The parts have some heft and feel solid as expected for a chair designed for heavy people. Material and stitching look proper and I see no flaws. My box was beat to hell and ripped opened at one point. Packing material took the hit and did its job as the items were unaffected. The gas cylinder for the chair was missing and assume lost during shipping. (see customer service). Assembly was standard office chair fare with simple and clear instructions. Wheels / Height / Controls: I normally wouldn’t think of mentioning wheels, but it’s different than expected. They are good, maybe too good. A slight kick to push you back on wood floors sends you flying. The height adjustment for me is good/standard. At full height my feet are flat on the floor and where I would have the chair even if it went higher. My wife (5’6”) at that height is about 2.5 inches above the floor. Taller people than myself may wish for more height. Chair controls are standard fare and operate smoothly Seat: It’s large and with the arms is there is nothing even close to your hip/legs. I can put my fist on my hips and my arms barely touch the chair arms. This is why you are thinking of this chair, and for that you will not be disappointed. The seat is not pillow soft and IMHO a little firmer than I liked at first, but after a few days got broken in or I adjusted. I am a programmer + gamer so spend a lot of time in the chair for hours on end. Comfortable and no complaints at all. Seat depth for me is ~1” from my knee and good with roughly 20.5” usable butt/thigh length. That should be fine for big/tall but may be a bit much for big/short. Measure your current chair and decide from there. Back: The back lets the chair down a bit for me, the big/tall user, as the target seems to be big/short users. The back ends just below my shoulder-line. That obviously means no leaning my head back and the headrest is squarely on my shoulder blades. Not uncomfortable, but I’d prefer a taller back. For me personally I’d like it to be extended 4”, but that would likely be an issue for shorter users. I feel if the manufacturer increased the back by 2 inches it would be an ideal compromise for all users. The chair has an inflatable lumbar support, which I did not use as I personally find those uncomfortable. Also note the chair is designed for a more proper posture with a 90deg back and not a more relaxed 100-110deg. Neither pro/con as personal preference. Arms: The design of the arms being supported by rear only as mentioned earlier allow for an abundance of hip/thigh space. This is an excellent ergonomic design with a potential caveat. More stress will be placed upon the connection/joint. The joint for this chair is just shy of 4” so seems beefy but only time will tell if it holds up to the lateral force of leaning on it while reading. My chairs tend to last 5-7 years, due to the right arm feeling wobbly or the chair leaning to the right. The arm adjustments provide a nice front/back of ~3”, from touching chair back to 3” gap between chair/armrest. The height is similar and also moves the armrest forward about another 2”. At full forward/up the armrest are higher than I like so should easily accommodate taller users. Customer Service My chair was missing a part that I suspect was lost during shipping due to box condition. I contacted them Sun (7/20/2025 @ 1201). At 2228 that night I received a response that they acknowledged the issue and gave a tracking order for the missing part. The part arrived Mon 7/28 and gave a few days to test it out for review Fri (8/1). Obviously you don’t want an issue, but if an issue arises how a company handles it tells you a lot IMHO on how they feel about their product. I am very pleased with their handling of the matter.

Great Chair
Color: Black, Style: Classic
The durability, recline, noise, fit, and appearance, and stability of the chair were all fantastic. As someone of a shorter height, the backrest which is normally way to high or short for my head fits perfectly. The chair itself is easy to assemble and very comfortable to sit in for long hours. I tend do a lot of work at home and this chair feels very comfortable without feeling the need to get up. The chair looks great set up in my office and is honestly a great office chair. For moving around a room, the wheel guides across my carpet very smoothly with struggling unlike my previous chair which would need a heavy push. Not only that, the chair is noiseless which is a plus for people who get bothered by little sounds when moving around. The fit could honestly fit anyone of any size as the chair itself is quite wide and roomy for me. The seat is also made up of faux leather and feels well stitched and quite durable.

Decent Price
Color: Black, Style: Classic
Chair arrived and was missing critical component so that I could not assemble it. Contacted seller and they sent me a similar component within 2 weeks. Chair was now easy to assemble and very comfortable to use for long periods. Although I wished it could raise another two inches. Also be aware chair might be challenging to get thru a standard 29-30inch doorway but not impossible. Thank You Seller for your help.

Installation is straightforward — the major components align cleanly, and the hardware fits without forcing, allowing the entire setup to be completed quickly. Once assembled, the chair provides excellent comfort: the padded headrest, wide seat, and soft armrests create a stable, ergonomic sitting experience suitable for long work sessions. The overall build feels solid, and the smooth-rolling casters add to the ease of use.
