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.”

Good daily moisturizer
This is the second time I’m purchasing this moisturizer and I’m still very impressed. It’s a bit thick when first applying but soaks in quickly and has helped with my skin feeling tight or itchy. I use it as a daily product after washing my face and find it holds up throughout the day. The tube is smaller but for the price, this isn’t too big of an issue for me, especially compared to other products I’ve used in the past.

It really hydrates
I havent used it long enough but so far so good. I haven't had any reactions to it. It is really oily so I personally do not use it during the day becaus ei dont like looking extra oily. But at night is really good.

Good, but not for super oily skin
My skin is oily in my t zone especially my nose area due to my large pores. I wanted to find a ceramide cream to help protect my skin barrier when using retinoid at night. This product is heavy and had me waking up with a greasy and oily t zone in the morning. I think it would be great for dry dehydrated skin but not for me. It does make my skin feel soft though. I haven't experienced any breakouts due to it either. The bottle is small but a little definitely goes a long way with this as it is rich like the name describes. I also love how it doesn't have a fragrance at all. Everything about this product is pretty good, its just not suited for my skin personally due to my skin being naturally oily already.

It’s good and non irritating
Perfect for daily use, it’s lightweight so if you have very dry skin (like me) u may need to use thicker moisturizer but it’s still pretty good. U can still wear make up afterwards with no issues which I loved

Excelent daily moisturizer
This is a nice, thick, ceramide rich moisturizer that provides great occlusion. I have really dry skin, and this is like a big drink of water for the face.
