    $75.00

    The Philodendron mexicanum is a rare and elegant climbing aroid native to Central America. Known for its uniquely shaped, elongated, and glossy leaves, this Philodendron features a deep green upper surface and a striking reddish or purple underside. The mature leaves often develop a characteristic "trident" shape with prominent lobes, adding to its visual appeal and making it a favorite among collectors.

     

    Care Guidelines:

     

    1. Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, but ensure enough light to maintain healthy growth and vibrant coloration.

     

     

    2. Watering: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so always ensure proper drainage.

     

     

    3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50-70%). Use a humidifier or place the plant near a pebble tray to replicate its tropical environment.

     

     

    4. Soil: Requires a well-draining, aerated soil mix, such as one with peat, perlite, and orchid bark, to support healthy root growth.

     

     

    5. Temperature: Best grown in temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F). Protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

     

     

    6. Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy, vigorous growth.

     

     

     

    Growth Tips:

     

    Support: Provide a moss pole or trellis to support its climbing habit and encourage larger, mature leaves.

     

    Pruning: Trim back leggy growth to maintain a compact appearance and redirect energy to new foliage.

     

    Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings with at least one node, placed in water or soil.

     

     

    Placement:

     

    Philodendron mexicanum makes a stunning statement plant for any indoor space. Its bold, tropical leaves and contrasting undersides add depth and color to living rooms, offices, or plant collections.
