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.

I love the show, hate this book
Format: Paperback
The Simpsons is one of the funniest TV shows ever. It doesn't translate well to paper at all in this book. This is not funny. It reads like some wannabe comedy writer trying to imitate the Simpsons. The book's credits list Matt Groening as the the "publisher". It lists 7 writers, none of whom is Groening. It also lists a creative director, art director, and multiple "contributing artists", none of whom are Groening. In fact, comparing the list of writers for this book to the list of the show's writers on Wikipedia, none of the show's writers contributed to this book. Maybe that's why it doesn't feel like the show at all. Same characters, lame dialogue, not funny. Too bad.

HO HO HO from the Simpsons! Holiday cheer is here!
Format: Paperback
The Simpsons 'Holiday Humdinger' is an excellent collection of comics, and this one in particular hits on many different levels. Not only are we seeing the main characters that we love placed in crazy holiday situations, but a lot of careful attention was poured into clever in-jokes and homage's to past characters and episodes. Since the Simpsons brand comics usually play out like a half hour episode, their comic production values have been excellent. The flow of the story, the perfect colors, the likeness of the characters....all of these elements make the comic strips come together in a great way. In the case of this holiday edition, not only do we get the longer stories but we also get much more: A few two-page spreads of Christmas silliness courtesy of the Springfield Elementary gym, the power plant, and the comic book store. In these bits, there is so much going on at once that is takes a 2nd and 3rd glance to make sure you don't miss all the laughs. We are also treated to holiday "cards," coming from many Springfield hot spots and major players. Fans of the series will think back to some past TV episodes to make the connection with some of these holiday greetings! There are a few Angry Dad cameos as well! And Christmas would certainly feel empty without Itchy & Scratchy, so get ready for a great story involving our favorite cat and mouse. As with many other Simpsons collections, many of these comics may have appeared in the monthly editions in the past. So beware if you do not like the idea of getting repeat material. Otherwise, this is an absolute holiday treat ! Enjoy!
