Philodendron mayoi

Philodendron mayoi is a Brazilian species in the Araceae family, known for glossy green leaves that become more deeply divided as the plant matures. Juvenile leaves are simpler, while older blades develop a cut, fingered outline with divisions reaching toward the midrib.

This Philodendron is best described as a scrambling to scandent species rather than a strict upright climber. In a pot, the stems may spread outward from the base or be guided gently onto a small support, with mature foliage becoming more sharply divided than the first juvenile leaves.

Divided leaves and scandent Philodendron mayoi stems

  • Foliage: Glossy green leaves with a divided outline.
  • Juvenile growth: Young leaves are less divided and become more cut with maturity.
  • Growth habit: Scrambling to scandent growth, with stems that can spread or be guided upward.
  • Origin: Brazilian species from Brasília D.F. and Goiás.
  • Habitat context: Brazilian seasonally dry tropical conditions, with care that favours air around the roots and steady warmth.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

Juvenile and mature leaf shape in Philodendron mayoi

Young Philodendron mayoi plants can produce simpler blades before the more divided mature foliage appears. As the plant gains size, the cuts become more pronounced and the leaf outline develops a sharper, more fingered shape.

The stems extend outward or upward depending on how the plant is grown. A small support can guide scandent growth, while a wider pot gives spreading stems room to develop without crowding the newest leaves.

Care for Philodendron mayoi in a pot

  • Light: Give Philodendron mayoi bright filtered light. Weak light can produce stretched growth and smaller, less clearly divided leaves.
  • Water: Water when part of the potting mix has dried, then let the pot drain fully. Long wet periods around spreading stems can stress the roots.
  • Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix that drains quickly while holding light, even moisture.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new divided leaves expand without dry edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with protection from cold draughts and cold wet substrate.
  • Support: Use a small pole, plank or stake if you want to guide scandent stems upward.
  • Pot choice: Choose a stable pot with enough surface space for the spreading stem base and free drainage below.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the substrate breaks down, or spreading stems need more stable space at the surface.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at diluted strength.
  • Growth rate: Growth is usually moderate indoors, with clearer leaf division developing as the plant gains size.

Philodendron mayoi pruning, propagation and mineral substrates

  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves close to the petiole base, or trim an overextended stem above a node.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node and healthy aerial-root tissue.
  • Semi-hydro: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the roots stay warm, oxygenated and not stagnant.
  • Training: Guide flexible stems early if you want a more upright plant shape.

Philodendron mayoi leaf division, dry edges and root stress

  • Less divided leaves: Juvenile leaves are naturally simpler, but weak light can also reduce leaf size and definition.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check for wet roots or a dense potting mix that stays damp too long.
  • Crispy margins: Dry air, underwatering or heat stress can mark the thin edges of divided leaves.
  • Root issues: Slow growth with yellowing leaves often points to compacted substrate, poor drainage or cold wet roots.
  • Pests: Inspect the cuts, leaf backs and new growth for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron mayoi toxicity

Philodendron mayoi contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children that may chew leaves, petioles or stems.

Philodendron mayoi name origin and botanical background

Heinrich Wilhelm Schott described the genus Philodendron in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode; its name combines Greek philo- or philein, meaning loving, and dendron, meaning tree. Philodendron mayoi was described by Eduardo G. Gonçalves and published in Kew Bulletin in 2000. The species epithet mayoi honours the aroid botanist Simon J. Mayo.

With glossy divided leaves and spreading scandent growth, Philodendron mayoi develops a distinctive mature outline in an indoor aroid collection.

Not for strong chewers
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
Initially, I really liked this for my dog. She is about 8 months old and still loves to chew and destroys most toys in a few minutes. When we got this, it seemed like it would hold up for a while despite being clearly gnawed on. Unfortunately, once she focused on the softer "water" portion of the toy, that is where things went downhill with this toy. After a few short chew sessions, she was tearing chunks out of it. We had purchased a replacement since she liked the original so much, and after about 5 minutes with the replacement, she had taken enough out of the blue section that we immediately threw that one out as well. Overall while the green portion held up, the blue didn't. I can't recommend this for strong chewers.

Definitely not indestructable
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
I have a 1-year-old toy fox terrier (Rocky, pictured). He has been chewing on this toy for seven months now; it is one of his favorites. He has been unable to seriously damage the "ocean" portion of this toy, but as you can see from the provided image, the sea serpent has not faired that well. It is missing its snout and smaller portions of the humps. My guess is that the advertiser images showing much larger dogs with "like new" versions of the toy are just that...NEW AND UNCHEWED. I have not had to clean up bits of this toy from my floor, so I assume Rocky has been swallowing them. My hope is that the yellow material of the serpent is not chemically dangerous when exposed to digestive fluids. Rocky easily destroys plush toys in a matter of days if not hours and, consumed pieces of a small microfiber blanket that he liked to toss around and play tug-of-war with (past tense as he destroyed it and has since been trashed after I began finding feces-stained undigested pieces of it lying around). Since this toy has survived seven months and has remained recognizable, I have to agree it is durable. Just beware, if my small toy fox terrier can damage the toy as pictured, expect your large breed chewer to do similar or worse damage. Also, the toy is very heavy! When Rocky drops it down a flight of stairs, it makes a MAJOR thud at the bottom, and sometimes makes me wonder if it might crack the large tile at the bottom. I cautiously recommend the product. Note the yellow frisbee in Rocky's picture. It is only a few months old and surprisingly has not suffered any chew damage despite substantial abuse. It appears to bend in the wind like a proverbial reed, evading damage by yielding to pressure.

Dog loves it! For tough chewers for sure
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
Dog absolutely loves it, he’s super rough on all of his toys they usually last about 10 minutes bore they are torn to shreds. It’s lasting through his chewing so I’m happy. It’s also super cute.

Cute toy, dog really likes it. I had my doubts when I pulled it out, and honestly so did she, but the soft part bounces, so that got her going. We've had it for about a week. My dog is ~70 lbs and a moderate chewer, and this monster still gets regular play and is holding up well.
