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.”

Matte comfortable facial sunscreen
This is a great sunscreen! The texture is kind of odd at first but it dries down nicely and is the only facial sunscreen I have found that is NOT shiny or greasy looking! Most facial sunscreens will advertise no white cast and being "dewy," but I find them to make my face so shiny and greasy looking, especially because I also use a moisturizer. This one is great and does not add any shine to my face.

clear and light sunscreen
Used this sunscreen and it works really well. It goes on clear and spreads easily. Not sticky or oily at all, very comfortable on the skin. Feels light and good for daily use.

Matte and definitely worth purchasing
Love it. It’s definitely matte, but doesn’t dry me out. I put it on with a light moisturizer, and have no issues with pilling. It feels more like a light oil when applying, but that feeling goes away in seconds. I like that it’s also water resistant. I get oily really easily, so I’ve been looking for an affordable matte sunscreen, and this seems to be working really well for me. There’s a sunscreen smell on application, but it’s not too overwhelming and goes away quickly. Overall, 10/10 would definitely recommend, and kinda wish I could gatekeep it.

Best sunscreen ever
Best sunscreen! Extremely smooth, it leaves your skin completely matte. It does not feel like sunscreen, it feels like a high end primer. It’s a gel not even a cream. I use it as my primer, since I have to put sunscreen on anyway, it serves as my primer before make up. I’ve always struggled with finding a decent sunscreen for my face that leaves no cast or hurts my eyes but this one is the best one I’ve ever tried. Matte, smooth, gel, does not hurt eyes, primer for make up. Amazing! And great value for the money.

Feels very oily right after applying
Ok, NON SPONSORED review. I bought this with my own money. It’s a great sunscreen, very lightweight and goes on clear. The only downside is, right after applying it feels like straight cooking oil on your skin. It’s a horrible, horrible sensory experience. But once you give it a couple minutes to dry down, it’s completely matte and feels like nothing. It hasn’t broken me out yet like other sunscreens I’ve tried, so that’s a plus.
