Philodendron Maximum is a large-growing tropical houseplant known for its oversized, elongated green leaves and bold jungle-style appearance. As it matures, the leaves can become impressively large, making it a great choice for collectors, plant rooms, moss poles, and bright indoor spaces with room for growth.
The proper botanical name is Philodendron maximum.
Philodendron Maximum does best in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter filtered light helps support larger leaves and stronger growth. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and allow water to drain. Philodendrons prefer lightly moist soil, but they do not like sitting in wet soil, so avoid watering too frequently.
Use a well-draining, chunky potting mix and a pot with drainage. A mix with houseplant soil, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well.
Philodendron Maximum prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. Higher humidity can help support larger leaves and healthier growth. Keep it away from cold drafts, heating vents, and air conditioning.
This plant appreciates support as it matures. A moss pole, plank, or sturdy trellis can help encourage larger leaves and a more upright growth habit.
Philodendron plants are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep them away from cats, dogs, and small children.
