Product Details
Brand: Plant
Philodendron Mayoi
Philodendron Mayoi is a distinctive tropical aroid prized for its deeply divided, palm-like green foliage and elegant climbing growth habit. As the plant matures, its leaves develop long, narrow lobes radiating outward from the central vein, creating an airy, almost tropical-palm appearance. Its unusual leaf shape becomes increasingly dramatic with maturity, making it an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy more sculptural Philodendrons.
The proper botanical name is Philodendron mayoi. It is a naturally occurring Philodendron species native to Brazil and was named in honor of botanist Simon Mayo, known for his work studying members of the aroid family. Young plants may have simpler foliage, with the characteristic deeply divided leaves becoming more pronounced as the plant matures.
Care
Philodendron Mayoi does best in bright, indirect light. Plenty of filtered light encourages vigorous growth and helps the plant develop larger, more deeply divided mature foliage. It can tolerate medium light, but growth may become slower. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain. Philodendron Mayoi appreciates consistent moisture during active growth but should never remain soggy or waterlogged. Avoid allowing the plant to stay completely dry for extended periods.
Use a well-draining, chunky aroid potting mix in a container with drainage. A mixture containing quality houseplant soil or coco coir, orchid bark, perlite or pumice, and other coarse amendments works well. The roots appreciate a balance of moisture retention and excellent airflow.
Philodendron Mayoi prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity. It adapts to average household humidity, although additional humidity can encourage larger foliage and help newly emerging leaves unfurl properly. Good airflow is beneficial in higher-humidity environments.
This Philodendron develops a climbing growth habit and benefits from a moss pole, plank, or other sturdy vertical support. Allowing its aerial roots to attach as it climbs can encourage progressively larger and more mature foliage. Pruning can be used to control its size or encourage additional growth, and stem cuttings containing a viable node can be propagated.
Pet Safety
Philodendron Mayoi is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Like other Philodendrons, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation of the mouth, tongue, and lips, along with drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.
