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.”

Excellent Wireless Mouse with Great Performance
Size: Standard
The Razer Basilisk V3 X HyperSpeed is an outstanding gaming mouse. The wireless connection is fast and reliable with no noticeable lag, and the mechanical switches feel crisp and responsive. It’s comfortable to hold even during long sessions, and the customizable buttons add a lot of flexibility for both gaming and productivity. Battery life is impressive, and overall it delivers great performance for the price.

Great mid range mouse option
Size: Standard
My previous mice include the Razer Deathadder V2, Razer Basilisk V2 X Hyperspeed, and the Logitech Pro X Superlight. This is easily the most comfortable mouse I've used, the contours feel perfect and the extra button the side is well placed and feels like a natural addition. I've personally not found the weight an issue, though it is much heavier that most other mice, even ones that use a AA battery. I do prefer the external battery as I disliked having to plug in my mouse every so often to charge it, something that became much more frequent as the internal battery lost capacity. The new switches feel excellent, a noticeable improvement from the V2. Performance is good in all areas with the exception of the scroll wheel, which feels like it eats inputs for breakfast lunch and dinner. Basically when scrolling fast the Basilisk V3 seems to skip inputs. My V2 had similar issues and eventually I had to replace it when the scroll wheel started acting haywire and scrolling on its own or backwards. Something to keep an eye on. Appearance is unremarkable. The new RGB scroll wheel is appreciated, but fairly simple in customization. I have it set to static color but you can have it be reactive to clicking, color cycle, breathing, or a few other options with Razer Synapse. One small quirk is that if you have auto sleep on, it takes a bit to actually turn back on when using it again. Whereas the Razer Deathadder V2 was near instant in my experience, the Basilisk V3 takes a few seconds to get going, which sounds like nothing but does make a difference when it happens so often. TL;DR - It's a really good mouse at this price point, good performance and great comfort. Only negative is the scroll wheel and the weight if that matters to you.

Not as good as a 3S, but less expensive. Hopefully better quality switches than the 3S.
Size: Standard
I like this mouse, but it could be better. I purchased it to replace a Logitech MX-Master 3S, which is a great mouse except the microswitch for the left button stopped being reliable after less than three years. While that's a reasonable life for some users, perhaps, it seemed inadequate to me. My use case is general pc use for searching the web, writing emails, and managing finances. The Logitech wasn't used every day. The 3S has a higher palm hump, which the Basilisk lacks and I really prefer. The Basilisk is similar in overall size to the 3S, so for the most part it fits my hand sufficiently well. Hump size is the main downside to the Basilisk. That, plus the battery is not rechargeable. What, in 2026?! But I've adapted to it, and battery life so far has been very good. It has the combo BT + 2.4 gHz connectivity with a dongle. Both choices work very well and reliably. I like the center wheel size and action a lot. I like the slip pads on the bottom of the mouse. It has a very handy and perfectly responsive third thumb button that I don't currently use but gamers may find it useful. Only time will tell if Razer's microswitch quality is more durable, reliable, and longer lived than the crap switches Logitech put into the otherwise very good 3S. I have used the Basilisk about two months at the time of this review.

Responsive and versatile
Size: Standard
Great mouse. Love that I can change the cursor speed with the middle button. Very light. It does burn through battery pretty quick, but it only takes one AA battery and others I've used have needed 2. Is very responsive.

Very good quality, good stability, it feels great to the touch, very nice color, not to much light at night. He works in an Alienware, and the connection was really easy.
