Philodendron mayoi is a stunning and fast-growing climbing aroid from the tropical rainforests of Brazil. Belonging to the Araceae family, this rare species is admired for its distinctive leaf shape and strong tropical aesthetic, making it a standout in any houseplant collection.

The foliage of Philodendron mayoi is deeply lobed, with each glossy green leaf resembling a feather or palm frond. The leaves emerge bronze when young before maturing into a vibrant emerald green, supported by sturdy, reddish petioles that add extra contrast and interest. Its elegant, symmetrical leaves give it a lush, sculptural quality — a true representation of the natural beauty of the Philodendron genus.

An easy-care climber that thrives with support, Philodendron mayoi is perfect for creating a jungle-like feel indoors, whether trained up a moss pole or allowed to trail gracefully from a shelf or hanging planter.


Philodendron mayoi – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It will tolerate moderate light but may produce smaller leaves with less definition in low-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the foliage.

Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering may lead to drooping leaves. In winter, reduce watering frequency slightly.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (60–80%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier to maintain lush, healthy leaves.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix – a combination of peat-free compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir is ideal. This ensures good airflow to the roots while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and encourage new growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Do not feed in winter when growth slows naturally.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim any leggy or damaged growth to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove yellowing leaves at the base. Wipe the large, glossy leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking vibrant.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing climber, capable of reaching 1–2 metres indoors when given support. With proper care, leaves can reach up to 30 cm in length and develop deep, characteristic lobes.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Insufficient light or lack of pruning.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Discovered in Brazil, Philodendron mayoi grows as an epiphytic climber in humid forest environments. Its palm-like foliage and fast, easy growth make it a popular choice among aroid collectors and tropical plant lovers alike.

Like other Philodendrons, it is also an effective air purifier, filtering toxins from the air and helping create a cleaner, healthier indoor atmosphere. Its combination of tropical flair, resilience, and distinctive foliage makes it a perfect centrepiece for modern interiors or indoor jungles.

Indestructible
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
This is actually indestrutible! Be careful though, it's wicked hard/heavy. It isn't a ball you want banging into things. Use outside!!

Not indestructible, but the best I’ve found
Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable, Color: Onyx Black - Most Durable
This thing is unexpectedly heavy for its size. My 18 month old Giant Schnauzer is obsessed with fetch but destroys every ball she gets. The other brands marketed for extreme chewers tend to last about a day or two before they’re totally shredded. She’s had this one for about 2 weeks and it’s looking rough, but still holding together for the most part. I appreciate that as it comes apart it does so in little pieces rather than large chunks. While it’s far from indestructible, it’s the strongest I’ve found so far.

Yes!
Size: Medium
Durable. Squeak doesn't last forever with my aggressive chewers but crinkle does. Best balls.
