Description

With deeply lobed, palm-like leaves that give off serious jungle vibes, Philodendron Mayoi is a fast growing climber that brings a wild, untamed feel to your space without the chaos. Native to Brazil, it’s happy to scramble, climb, or trail depending on your vibe. Bold, low fuss, and totally showy, it’s a must-have for plant lovers who want a bit of the rainforest in their living room.

Specification

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate a bit of shade, but too little light will mean slow growth and smaller leaves. Keep it out of direct sun to avoid crisping.

Watering

Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feel dry. In cooler UK months, ease up to avoid soggy roots, this one doesn’t like wet feet.

Temperature

Keep it cosy between 18–24°C. It’s not a fan of cold drafts, frosty windows, or getting too close to the radiator.

Humidity

Loves a bit of extra humidity (50%+). Normal UK home levels are fine, but it'll thank you for a spot near a humidifier.

Fertiliser

Feed each time you water during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser to keep those big leaves looking lush. Skip feeding in winter.

Toxicity

Toxic to, best to keep out of paw’s reach.
