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.”

Ouch! I paid WHAT for this?
This "eczema cream" contains alcohol. It says you can use it on your face and body. I applied the cream to my face and it burned my eyes. I then read that the ingredients contain alcohol. It did NOT help with my eczema at all. Everyone's skin is different, but I personally was very disappointed especially at $20 for 2oz. that the product ingredients were not soothing, burned my eyes, and dried out my skin more than it already was.

Eczema Relief! Everyday use
Wow. I have been struggling with eczema / red rashes around my eyes on and off for over a year. Its gotten really bad as the cold weather in Chicago has irritated my skin really bad. After one use of this brand, my eyelid skin is already recovering. I tried the ointment first and then the cream version as well. I find the ointment works best overnight for me and the cream is a good morning option, as i do like to wear makeup most days. Im definitely going to start using the cream as part of my everyday skincare routine. My concealer lays over it so perfectly and theres NO patchiness and NO flakes. The ointment and cream of this brand is so good at disguising the dryness and relieving the redness. I can’t believe I didn’t find this sooner its so inexpensive and works so well. I have such sensitive skin and am very hesitant when trying new products. If you’re undecided on this product, give it a try. This is definitely a repeat purchase of mine.

Dry Eye and Eczema Sufferers - Give This a Try!
If you have Dry Eye Disease/MGD, eczema, or struggle with dry, itchy, or flaky eyelids, this eye cream is for you! I have Dry Eye Disease/MGD, eczema, and ocular rosacea. My eyelids are often red, inflamed, and scaly. I learned about this product from a Facebook support group for dry eye sufferers. It came highly recommended in several posts, so I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! The cream is slightly thicker than a lotion, but not as thick as an ointment. I apply to both my under eye area and eyelids, morning and evening. A little bit goes a long way! The cream is very soothing. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. Despite having extremely sensitive skin, I have had no allergic reaction. I'm amazed at how quickly the cream has healed the flaky, dry skin on my eyelids. My eyelids are less itchy and sensitive throughout the day. Even better - the cream is affordable. I absolutely it! Game changer for my sensitive, dry eyes! Give it a try!

Soothing not oily
60 yr old white lady here. Got this for my kid who had irritated eyelids from eczema. After a week he felt done so handed it back to me. Ive been using for 2 months daily wondering if it would be nice. Way better than nice! Not oily at all. Very pleasant soft feeling around my eyes. That feeling lasts all day/all night, too. Something unexpected: reduced my eye bags! Not completely but significantly. Its allergy season so I rub my eyes a lot, usually. This cream is so soothing Im sure I am rubbing less. Delightfully surprised! Made in UK.
