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.”

Avoid the washer
Size: Small 24"x18", Color: White
I bought this for a 10 week old puppy. He had an accident on it and I washed it in the washing machine without the agitator and it left a mess. It is soft and chew resistant but I wish it had a removable cover.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Soft — Even the Kittens Love
Size: 35.4 x 23.6, Color: Taupe, Size: 35.4 x 23.6, Color: Taupe
We’re not using this bed inside a crate — we keep it in my office — and it’s been fantastic. The softness and comfort are excellent, and it immediately became a favorite spot. Funny enough, the kittens love it even more than the dogs, which says a lot about how cozy it is. The size is perfect for my side wall, no assembly required, lightweight, and it's so affordable! The bed feels well made and plush without being flimsy, and it’s held its shape nicely with regular use. It’s warm, inviting, and perfect for pets who like to curl up and relax nearby during the day. Overall, this has been a great purchase, whether you’re using it in a crate or just as a standalone pet bed. Definitely a 5-star item in our house.

Perfect for an English Bulldog 🐶
Size: 41.3 x 27.5, Color: Grey
Very good bed, super soft and comfortable. My English Bulldog loved it from day one and uses it all the time. The size is perfect and it doesn’t sink too much. The non-slip bottom keeps it in place. It’s also easy to wash and comes out like new, which is a big plus. 100% recommended. 🐾

Great Product at an Amazing Price!
Size: 41.3 x 27.5, Color: Coffee
I bought 2 of these crate liners to use as beds when I board my dogs and I couldn't be more thrilled with them! These beds are much sturdier than I expected for the price, very thick and comfy and both of my dogs love theirs! Even my 130lb Fila x Rottie is supported by this bed, and he's cushioned from the cement floors at the boarding facility enough I don't worry about any pressure sores on him. I'll definitely be buying extras of these beds to have on hand.
