Philodendron mayoi – The Underrated Jungle King 🌿🔥
Why this plant isn’t in every collector’s lineup is beyond me—Philodendron mayoi is an absolute beast. With deeply lobed, palm-like leaves and insane tropical vibes, this fast-growing climber turns any space into a jungle. Easy-care, unique, and criminally underrated—this is the Philodendron you didn’t know you needed.
Why You’ll Love It:
✅ Massive, deeply lobed leaves – Gives off serious rainforest energy.
✅ Fast-growing & easy – This one takes off with the right care.
✅ Tough & adaptable – Tolerates lower humidity & forgetful watering.
✅ Looks epic climbing or trailing – Give it a moss pole and watch it explode.
Care Level: Beginner-Friendly 🌱
💡 Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light, but can handle some shade.
💧 Water: Keep soil slightly moist, but avoid drowning the roots.
🌡 Humidity: Loves higher humidity, but will still grow without it.
🌿 Growth: Climbs like a champ—support it for massive leaves.
🚨 Seriously underrated & hard to find—grab one while you can! 🚨

The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Philodendron:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
