Philodendron eximium

Philodendron eximium is an eastern Brazilian climbing Philodendron with glossy green foliage and a hemi-epiphytic growth habit. In a pot, it needs an airy mix that lets water drain through freely while keeping the roots evenly moist between waterings.

The plant grows as a hemi-epiphytic vine with large, ovate to broadly ovate leaves, a cordate base and a paler lower surface. Mature foliage can become substantial, so indoor plants benefit from a stable vertical support before the stem becomes heavy.

Glossy climbing leaves on Philodendron eximium

  • Origin: Native to eastern Brazil, including southeastern Brazil and a northern record in Pernambuco.
  • Growth habit: Hemi-epiphytic climbing vine that can be trained onto a pole or other vertical support.
  • Leaves: Large green blades that are ovate to broadly ovate, with a cordate base and paler underside.
  • Roots: Needs drainage, even moisture and air around the root zone.

Philodendron eximium from eastern Brazil

Philodendron eximium is native to eastern Brazil and grows primarily in the seasonally dry tropical biome. Its climbing habit and aerial roots suit a loose, aerated substrate in indoor cultivation.

A vertical support helps the stem climb instead of bending around the container. Aerial roots attach more readily to a textured surface as the plant gains height.

Root-zone care for Philodendron eximium

  • Light: Give bright filtered light; low light can lead to stretched stems and smaller leaves.
  • Watering: Let the upper 20–30% of the substrate dry before watering again, then drain thoroughly.
  • Substrate: Use bark, pumice or perlite, and a modest organic fraction so roots stay aerated.
  • Support: Add a pole before the stem becomes long enough to lean heavily.
  • Humidity: Moderate to good humidity supports larger leaves and smoother unfurling.
  • Temperature: Keep above 18°C and avoid cold, damp conditions around the root zone.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser at low strength during active growth, not when the plant is resting.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and repot when roots have filled the container or the support becomes unstable.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; single leaves without a node will not produce a new plant.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten the vine or redirect growth; remove damaged leaves close to the stem.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to mineral substrates such as pon, pumice, lava or LECA if transitioned carefully and kept aerated.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate indoors, with stronger climbing growth in warm, bright conditions.

Philodendron eximium indoor leaf and root issues

  • Yellowing after watering: Check whether the pot drains quickly and whether the mix has compacted.
  • Thin, stretched stems: Increase filtered light and secure new growth to a support.
  • Dry brown edges: Review watering consistency and avoid placing the plant near hot, dry airflow.
  • Root slowdown: If the plant stalls in a large pot, downsize or improve aeration before feeding more.
  • Pests: Check leaf undersides, petioles and new growth for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs or scale.

Philodendron eximium pet safety

Philodendron eximium should be placed away from pets. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, and cut or damaged tissue may irritate skin or the mouth.

Philodendron eximium etymology and publication

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving. Philodendron eximium was first published by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in Oesterr. Bot. Wochenbl. 3: 378 in 1853. The epithet eximium is formed from Latin eximius, meaning distinguished or exceptional.

Best LitRPG
Format: Kindle
This is absolutely the best litRPG I've ever read as well as the best self-published series. Between the character progression, the amazing sense of humor, and the relatability of the characters, this is my top recommendation for anyone interested in litRPGs. I fell in love so much that I had to sign up for the Patreon account so I could get my fix regularly (5 new chapters each week). I even managed to get my roommate hooked on the audiobooks. If you're looking for a fun story with loveable characters, surprising insights, and epic fights, this is for you.

A lot of useless skipping around...
Format: Kindle
So, I really enjoy the underlying story, but I really wish the writing was cleaned up. There were so many little sections, a few paragraphs to a few pages that were bouncing all over the place. And while some sort of moved the plot along, the vast majority were just filler. It would have been significantly more fluid if events were portrayed through characters experiences, than just having narration about everything happening all over. In addition, I know this is a web novel, and they tend to be written chapter by chapter. This, painfully, results in less cohesion from start to middle to end. The story ends up feeling choppy, and the overall arc throughout the book suffers. In fact, over >700 pages and we really didn't make a ton of headway until ~60% of the way through the book. That's when things really started. The majority before was fluff and filler. Useful, but only once distilled and refined. I'm really hoping that for future books, Shirtaloon spends some time really thinking what is critical for the plot, and how to incorporate as much of that plot progression through the lenses of the characters in lieu of just narrating pages and pages of stuff. For example, instead of spending 100s of pages on mentioning all the places in the world crumbling from infighting and corruption, instead portray that through the character. It reads so much better, and ends up being more concise, and allows for opportunities for further character development all while building the world. I love more story, but I'd prefer reading a 700 page story. Not a 400 page story in 700 pages. Let's make all the pages matter.

Another Good One in the Bag
Format: Kindle
Love the change this adventure keeps taking. We go from our LitFantasy to a comic book adventure. One of the most interesting LIT tales I have read so far. The adventure continues to hold you captured and throws in a few twist. Didn’t see those 3 making an appearance in the Reapers Realm. But, no other spoilers, just read it; it’s definitely worth reading!!! Cheers 🍻 Peace ✌🏾 & Love ❤️
