Philodendron mayoi is a stunning and fast-growing climbing aroid from the tropical rainforests of Brazil. Belonging to the Araceae family, this rare species is admired for its distinctive leaf shape and strong tropical aesthetic, making it a standout in any houseplant collection.

The foliage of Philodendron mayoi is deeply lobed, with each glossy green leaf resembling a feather or palm frond. The leaves emerge bronze when young before maturing into a vibrant emerald green, supported by sturdy, reddish petioles that add extra contrast and interest. Its elegant, symmetrical leaves give it a lush, sculptural quality — a true representation of the natural beauty of the Philodendron genus.

An easy-care climber that thrives with support, Philodendron mayoi is perfect for creating a jungle-like feel indoors, whether trained up a moss pole or allowed to trail gracefully from a shelf or hanging planter.


Philodendron mayoi – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It will tolerate moderate light but may produce smaller leaves with less definition in low-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the foliage.

Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering may lead to drooping leaves. In winter, reduce watering frequency slightly.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (60–80%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier to maintain lush, healthy leaves.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix – a combination of peat-free compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir is ideal. This ensures good airflow to the roots while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and encourage new growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Do not feed in winter when growth slows naturally.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim any leggy or damaged growth to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove yellowing leaves at the base. Wipe the large, glossy leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking vibrant.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing climber, capable of reaching 1–2 metres indoors when given support. With proper care, leaves can reach up to 30 cm in length and develop deep, characteristic lobes.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Insufficient light or lack of pruning.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Discovered in Brazil, Philodendron mayoi grows as an epiphytic climber in humid forest environments. Its palm-like foliage and fast, easy growth make it a popular choice among aroid collectors and tropical plant lovers alike.

Like other Philodendrons, it is also an effective air purifier, filtering toxins from the air and helping create a cleaner, healthier indoor atmosphere. Its combination of tropical flair, resilience, and distinctive foliage makes it a perfect centrepiece for modern interiors or indoor jungles.

Terrible, look like a ghost
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love La Roche-Posay but unfortunately, I finally came across the first product I truly hate from them. This product is a complete white mask on your face and does not settle in at all. You’ll be walking around looking like a ghost all day and it gave me a mild irritation to my eyes.

Leaves white cast, works okay under makeup.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First time using this sunscreen. I have very sensitive skin and thought since my skin tolerates their cleansers and moisturizers surely it should tolerate the sunscreen. So far so good. It’s very calming on my skin (maybe because of the zinc), but it leaves a noticeable white cast especially if you have dark skin. I wear mine under makeup and have a separate sunscreen from another brand on days where I don’t want to wear makeup. The white cast actually acts as a blank base and helps my foundation to lay well. A tip I learned from makeup artists years ago. Sunscreens that leave a white cast cancels out your natural color and acts as a corrector, concealer and foundation to lay better and look more like skin. Think of it like painting on a blank canvas. The texture is not lotion like and is actually quite thick. make sure to moisturize well before apply this sunscreen. I’ll write an update if I notice any negative issues, but so far I’m content with it because of the purpose I'm using it for.

It is an excellent choice, especially if you have sensitive skin or want to avoid chemical filters. Minerals such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide act by forming a barrier that reflects UV rays instead of absorbing them.
