Philodendron mexicanum is an evergreen, tropical climbing plant from the Araceae family, a group of plants commonly known as aroids. It is native to the rainforests of Mexico, but it can also be found in other parts of Central America, such as Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Ecuador.

Light Requirements
Philodendron mexicanum grows best in bright indirect light. In its natural habitat, you will find it growing in the understory of tropical forests, where it receives filtered sunlight trickling down through the canopy. But as the plant matures and starts climbing, it will need more light to stay healthy.

Our recommendation is to grow your Philodendron mexicanum in a room with eastern or western exposure. You can keep it close to a window, but use sheer curtains to filter out the sun. A couple of hours of direct sunlight in the morning and evening will promote larger leaf growth, but the direct midday sun can scorch the leaves. Similarly, too little light will result in leggy growth and smaller leaves.

Temperature Requirements
The ideal temperature range for Philodendron high quality mexicanum is between 65 and 75 F (18 to 24 C). This plant does not tolerate temperature extremes and will struggle to grow if temperatures rise above 86 F (30 C), or drop below 55 F (13 C)

Water Requirements
Keep the soil of your Philodendron mexicanum moist but not soaked. The plant can be very sensitive to root rot and having ‘wet feet', but at the same time, it does not tolerate drought

Soil Requirements
The soil mix for your Philodendron mexicanum should be loose, aerated, porous, rich in organic matter, and very well-draining. In the wild, this plant can be found growing on trees but also rocks, which means that its roots have adapted to a moist substrate that also doesn't retain water for too long. Creating a soil mix that mimics these features is crucial if you want to keep the roots healthy and prevent problems caused by overwatering.
