Philodendron mayoi

Philodendron mayoi is a Brazilian species in the Araceae family, known for glossy green leaves that become more deeply divided as the plant matures. Juvenile leaves are simpler, while older blades develop a cut, fingered outline with divisions reaching toward the midrib.

This Philodendron is best described as a scrambling to scandent species rather than a strict upright climber. In a pot, the stems may spread outward from the base or be guided gently onto a small support, with mature foliage becoming more sharply divided than the first juvenile leaves.

Divided leaves and scandent Philodendron mayoi stems

  • Foliage: Glossy green leaves with a divided outline.
  • Juvenile growth: Young leaves are less divided and become more cut with maturity.
  • Growth habit: Scrambling to scandent growth, with stems that can spread or be guided upward.
  • Origin: Brazilian species from Brasília D.F. and Goiás.
  • Habitat context: Brazilian seasonally dry tropical conditions, with care that favours air around the roots and steady warmth.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

Juvenile and mature leaf shape in Philodendron mayoi

Young Philodendron mayoi plants can produce simpler blades before the more divided mature foliage appears. As the plant gains size, the cuts become more pronounced and the leaf outline develops a sharper, more fingered shape.

The stems extend outward or upward depending on how the plant is grown. A small support can guide scandent growth, while a wider pot gives spreading stems room to develop without crowding the newest leaves.

Care for Philodendron mayoi in a pot

  • Light: Give Philodendron mayoi bright filtered light. Weak light can produce stretched growth and smaller, less clearly divided leaves.
  • Water: Water when part of the potting mix has dried, then let the pot drain fully. Long wet periods around spreading stems can stress the roots.
  • Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix that drains quickly while holding light, even moisture.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new divided leaves expand without dry edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, ideally above 18 °C, with protection from cold draughts and cold wet substrate.
  • Support: Use a small pole, plank or stake if you want to guide scandent stems upward.
  • Pot choice: Choose a stable pot with enough surface space for the spreading stem base and free drainage below.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the substrate breaks down, or spreading stems need more stable space at the surface.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser at diluted strength.
  • Growth rate: Growth is usually moderate indoors, with clearer leaf division developing as the plant gains size.

Philodendron mayoi pruning, propagation and mineral substrates

  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves close to the petiole base, or trim an overextended stem above a node.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node and healthy aerial-root tissue.
  • Semi-hydro: Suitable for mineral or semi-hydro substrates if the roots stay warm, oxygenated and not stagnant.
  • Training: Guide flexible stems early if you want a more upright plant shape.

Philodendron mayoi leaf division, dry edges and root stress

  • Less divided leaves: Juvenile leaves are naturally simpler, but weak light can also reduce leaf size and definition.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check for wet roots or a dense potting mix that stays damp too long.
  • Crispy margins: Dry air, underwatering or heat stress can mark the thin edges of divided leaves.
  • Root issues: Slow growth with yellowing leaves often points to compacted substrate, poor drainage or cold wet roots.
  • Pests: Inspect the cuts, leaf backs and new growth for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron mayoi toxicity

Philodendron mayoi contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children that may chew leaves, petioles or stems.

Philodendron mayoi name origin and botanical background

Heinrich Wilhelm Schott described the genus Philodendron in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode; its name combines Greek philo- or philein, meaning loving, and dendron, meaning tree. Philodendron mayoi was described by Eduardo G. Gonçalves and published in Kew Bulletin in 2000. The species epithet mayoi honours the aroid botanist Simon J. Mayo.

With glossy divided leaves and spreading scandent growth, Philodendron mayoi develops a distinctive mature outline in an indoor aroid collection.

“This Jacket Changed My Life, My Posture, and Possibly My Destiny.”
Special Size Type: Standard, Size: X-Large, Color: Colusa/Stretch
“This Jacket Changed My Life, My Posture, and Possibly My Destiny.” I bought this Levi’s Men’s Trucker Jacket on Black Friday for 50% off, and honestly, I think the universe has been waiting for this moment. The second I slipped it on, I felt the air shift — like somewhere, a tumbleweed rolled across a Walmart parking lot in respect. This jacket didn’t just fit. It claimed me. Suddenly, I walked differently. Not better — just with more narrative significance. Like I was the mysterious side character in a Netflix show who only appears to give life-changing advice next to a jukebox. People look at me now like I’ve been to places. Seen things. Done questionable but noble acts on the open road. What This Jacket Made Me Believe About Myself: That I could fix a motorcycle using only pliers and emotional willpower That I should own sunglasses even indoors That I absolutely should lean against things while staring into the distance That I have opinions about blues music That someone, somewhere, owes me money My confidence skyrocketed. My responsibilities? Stayed exactly the same — but I now ignore them with swagger. The Black Friday Factor Getting it 50% off activated a new primal ego inside me. Every time someone compliments it, I immediately shout: “THANKS — GOT IT HALF OFF!” Even when they weren’t complimenting it. Even when they weren’t talking to me. Even when I was alone. Durability This thing could survive: A bar fight A mild tornado Being run over by a shopping cart stampede The emotional collapse of a man who just realized he peaked in high school It’s rugged. It’s iconic. It smells faintly of “I could do better, but I won’t.” Side Effects (documented): Strangers nod at me Kids think I know how to play guitar I feel obligated to say things like “Let’s ride” even when entering a minivan My reflection winked at me once Final Verdict This isn’t just a jacket. It’s a lifestyle upgrade. A fabric-based personality transplant. A denim prophecy fulfilled. Five stars. If Levi’s ever discontinues this jacket, I will chain myself to their headquarters and demand justice.

Vintage 60's cool, but sizing is a difficult decision
I can't believe I haven't owned one of these for the last 40 years or so. To put one on after all these years takes one right back to the questionable days of one's youth when you wore these bare chested underneath while tooling around on your Kawasaki 500 triple. Well it will take you back if you haven't let yourself go too far! I received both a large and a medium in black (love the free returns on clothing, I always order two sizes so I get the right fit). They are both made in Mexico and look very neat and well made, the denim is on the thin side but OK for warm weather. Nowhere is there any tag saying shrink to fit or shrinks two sizes. The tag says machine wash cold, tumble dry medium. The large is quite large on me (I'm 5'9" 168 lbs trim and athletic build, more often than not I wear large in T shirts and jackets), the sleeves are way too long and loose, body too long and loose. Would have to shrink drastically to fit me, I really doubt it would shrink anywhere near that much. This type jacket is just all wrong if it's too loose fitting, witness the BLACK color one in the model photos, just not too cool. The medium fits much much smaller but IMHO perfect for this style jacket, a classic fit like Steve McQueen or Robert Plant would have sported, high waist and tight shoulders with sleeves rolled back a little. If you look at the model in the 'HARRINGTON' color you have the idea. It will be totally bitchen on today's big black BMW oilhead. This is the youthful fit I was looking for but any shrinkage would be too much. I am conflicted because I would like to wash this jacket and break it in, put a little wear and tear on it. But I wouldn't dare dry it with heat. I might try washing it in cold water and then line dry or I may just dry clean it. I am tempted to go out and drag it up and down the gravel driveway and run it over with my truck a few times till it acquires some of the same attitude it inspires in me. All I need now is a Psychedelic soundtrack and I'm all set to relive the glory days, better than the first time around. A little research on the Levi's website reveals they have a regular fit and a slim fit in addition to this relaxed fit which is the only one available on Amazon. I find that this relaxed version works well in the medium size anyway, it seems to be relaxed only in the body, not so much in shoulders or sleeves.

Large fits well, comfortable, though a bit more flex to it than expected
Special Size Type: Standard, Size: Large, Color: Colusa/Stretch
Very nice, though it is stretchier than expected. I purchased a large. The fit is good for me at 5'11" / 200lb, average build. My shoulders are a bit broader than most and the fit is maybe just a weeeeee bit tight, under the arm when reaching for something. The arm length and overall length are both great. This will be a mid-season jacket so I do not plan to wear a hoody or other bulky item under it. It would work, but I think a bit too snug for me. I reccomend washing it immeidately then taking a hot iron with steam to the pockets and collar which I feared were trying to start and curl up. They need to be trained early! I am more pleased than expected.

TRIED OTHER DENIM JACKETS LEVI THE ONLY WAY
This jacket is exactly what I was hoping for timeless, clean, and super versatile. The black denim looks sharp and goes with everything, from jeans to chinos. The fit is true to size and hits that perfect spot between fitted and comfortable. I can move around easily without it feeling stiff, and it breaks in nicely after a few wears. The quality really stands out — solid stitching, durable buttons, and that signature Levi’s structure that just looks good no matter how you style it. It’s warm enough for cool days but still light enough to wear indoors or layer over a hoodie. Im 180lbs 6’2 for reference, If you’re after that classic denim jacket look that never goes out of style, this one’s it. I get compliments every time I wear it. Also I’ve owned it a year now and it still looks great.
