Philodendron maximum

Philodendron maximum is an Araceae species from tropical South America, grown for broad green foliage and adult leaves with a semi-glossy surface. Mature blades can develop a narrowly ovate, sagittate or triangular-sagittate outline, giving older plants a strong vertical presence on support.

The climbing stem needs a stable vertical surface, while the expanding blades need open space around the plant. Bright filtered light, warmth, steady moisture and a chunky substrate help the roots stay aerated as the plant gains size.

Broad adult leaves and climbing growth in Philodendron maximum

  • Family: Araceae, the aroid family.
  • Foliage: Large green leaves with a semi-glossy surface.
  • Leaf shape: Adult blades can be narrowly ovate, sagittate or triangular-sagittate.
  • Petioles: Sturdy petioles hold the blades away from the climbing stem.
  • Growth habit: A climbing Philodendron that needs vertical room as it matures.
  • Indoor development: Leaf size increases gradually on support when warmth, light and root health stay steady.
  • Growth rate: Moderate to strong in warm, bright, humid conditions, slower in cooler or darker periods.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

Indoor growth for Philodendron maximum

Philodendron maximum develops from an elongating stem with aerial-root nodes. A pole, plank or similar support gives the stem contact points, while an airy, evenly moist substrate keeps oxygen around the thicker roots.

The species is associated with wet tropical forest in South America, with records from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia. Indoors, the same growth pattern needs warm temperatures, filtered light and enough space for each new blade to open without rubbing against a wall, shelf or neighbouring plant.

Care for Philodendron maximum foliage

  • Light: Place Philodendron maximum in bright filtered light. Harsh direct sun can mark large leaves.
  • Water: Water after part of the mix has dried. A large pot that stays wet for too long can stress the roots.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protected from cold windows, cold floors and draughts.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with enough structure to stay open around thick roots.
  • Support: Give the climbing stem a sturdy pole, plank or similar vertical surface before the plant becomes heavy.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the mix has compacted or the support no longer suits the stem height.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce feeding when light levels and growth slow.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node, kept warm and humid while rooting.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base or shorten an overlong stem above a healthy node.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Semi-hydro can work when roots are adapted gradually and the reservoir stays clean and oxygenated.

Philodendron maximum leaf tearing, yellowing and slow growth

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check for wet roots, old compacted mix or a pot that dries too slowly.
  • Damaged new leaves: Expanding blades can tear if humidity drops or the leaf rubs against nearby surfaces.
  • Slow growth: Cold conditions, weak light or root stress can interrupt leaf expansion.
  • Pests: Inspect leaf backs, petioles and new growth for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron maximum toxicity

Philodendron maximum has insoluble calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves, petioles and stems, so it should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plants.

Botanical background of Philodendron maximum

Philodendron was described by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode, and the genus name comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving. Philodendron maximum was described by K. Krause and published in Das Pflanzenreich in 1913. The species epithet maximum is the neuter form of Latin maximus, meaning largest or greatest.

A large-growing climbing Philodendron with broad semi-glossy leaves, sturdy petioles and a strong mature form on support.

Impressive after first use! Cooling and hydrating!
Update: I used too much product and it will pill. I knew I shouldn’t reapply more, but something in this serum is soothing and cooling to my under eye skin. Immediately feels cooling and hydrating around my eyes - feels so good! This soothing feeling lingers for several minutes. I am suffering with allergies at this time and the cool metal tip is soothing and the shape contours well to my eye area. I am applying this under my eyes and to the eyelid area. The formula absorbs quickly. The pics I am including are from the first use and then approximately 10 minutes after application. The difference is SUBTLE, but this is ONE use and only 10 minutes later and I can already see that there is a change, likely temporary. Within this short amount of time, some of the puffiness has subsided and a few fine lines are diminished. I was just outside weed whacking and I’m a mess. I’m certain this will perform even better when used after washing my face and as a part of my skincare routine. I plan to use in the am and pm until the I finish the tube. What I am expecting according to Paula’s Choice information is for my fine lines to diminish and for my eyelids to be less saggy after 4 weeks of consistent use. I hope to have a follow up review with excellent results - fingers crossed - you can see my tired and puffy eyes need all the help they can get! The packaging design makes application easy due to the slender tube that is easy to hold while applying the peptide eye serum with the ergonomic, cooling metal tip. The cap has an insert to keep the product from drying out which is another positive aspect to the packaging. The formula has Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 & Tridecapeptide-1, Lysine Polypeptides, and Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract. It’s worth your time to do some quick research on the benefits of these ingredients to understand what they do. I don’t want to write a novel here in a review.

Excellent 30 minute depuff. Cruelty free science-backed formula. Skip the applicator gimmick.
I’ve been using this eye cream for two weeks, and the results are impressive for morning maintenance. Within 30 minutes of application, I can see the "just woke up" puffiness settle down and the skin start to tighten. It absorbs quickly and leaves a slight shine so you know exactly where you’ve applied it, but it dries down without any tacky or restrictive feeling. While I'd never heard of Paula (Paula Begoun - "cosmetic cop") before, or whatever she was choosing, I am well versed in the world of eye serum. As someone with chronic allergies and a genetic predisposition for dark circles I'm always on the lookout for a treatment that works. After researching I found that Paula’s Choice is well-known for their "Smart, Safe, Effective" philosophy, and this serum reflects that. It’s formulated with a heavy-hitting mix of peptides and antioxidants that focus on skin repair. Crucially for me, the brand is Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free and entirely fragrance-free, which is a must for the sensitive skin around the eyes. While the brand isn’t 100% vegan (some products use animal by-products like beeswax), this product IS, is and they are transparent about their sourcing. This particular serum feels incredibly "clean" and non-irritating. The metal applicator is well-contoured for the under-eye area and feels great initially, though it does have a learning curve. It warms up quickly against the skin, and it can be hard to judge how much pressure to use when it’s pressed against your face. I’ve found the best method is to squeeze the serum onto the applicator before touching it to your skin to ensure you get the right amount. Honestly, squeezing a pea sized amount onto your finger and skipping the applicator all together may be the play. I know no cream is a "cure-all." However, for managing daily puffiness and noticeably firming the skin, this is an excellent serum that delivers on its promises without the "fluff" of unnecessary perfumes or harsh additives.
