Philodendron mayoi is a stunning and fast-growing climbing aroid from the tropical rainforests of Brazil. Belonging to the Araceae family, this rare species is admired for its distinctive leaf shape and strong tropical aesthetic, making it a standout in any houseplant collection.

The foliage of Philodendron mayoi is deeply lobed, with each glossy green leaf resembling a feather or palm frond. The leaves emerge bronze when young before maturing into a vibrant emerald green, supported by sturdy, reddish petioles that add extra contrast and interest. Its elegant, symmetrical leaves give it a lush, sculptural quality — a true representation of the natural beauty of the Philodendron genus.

An easy-care climber that thrives with support, Philodendron mayoi is perfect for creating a jungle-like feel indoors, whether trained up a moss pole or allowed to trail gracefully from a shelf or hanging planter.


Philodendron mayoi – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It will tolerate moderate light but may produce smaller leaves with less definition in low-light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the foliage.

Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering may lead to drooping leaves. In winter, reduce watering frequency slightly.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (60–80%). Mist occasionally or use a humidifier to maintain lush, healthy leaves.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix – a combination of peat-free compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir is ideal. This ensures good airflow to the roots while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and encourage new growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Do not feed in winter when growth slows naturally.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim any leggy or damaged growth to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove yellowing leaves at the base. Wipe the large, glossy leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them looking vibrant.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing climber, capable of reaching 1–2 metres indoors when given support. With proper care, leaves can reach up to 30 cm in length and develop deep, characteristic lobes.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Insufficient light or lack of pruning.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Discovered in Brazil, Philodendron mayoi grows as an epiphytic climber in humid forest environments. Its palm-like foliage and fast, easy growth make it a popular choice among aroid collectors and tropical plant lovers alike.

Like other Philodendrons, it is also an effective air purifier, filtering toxins from the air and helping create a cleaner, healthier indoor atmosphere. Its combination of tropical flair, resilience, and distinctive foliage makes it a perfect centrepiece for modern interiors or indoor jungles.


Quick Care Summary

  • Light: Bright, indirect; tolerates moderate light

  • Water: Lightly moist; allow topsoil to dry slightly

  • Temperature: 18–28°C; protect below 15°C

  • Humidity: Moderate to high (60–80%)

  • Soil: Chunky, free-draining aroid mix

⚠️ Toxicity Note: Like all Philodendrons, Philodendron mayoi is toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children.

Train Philodendron mayoi up a moss pole or trellis to encourage larger, more lobed leaves, or let it trail naturally for a wilder, tropical look. Its bright green foliage contrasts beautifully with darker plants like Ficus ‘Belize’ or Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’.

Awesome, but not the best squeakers.
Color: Purple
I bought the orange gecko for my 5-month-old Corgi puppy. He absolutely loves it. He came up with a "game" (sort of) where if I pick it up and start squeaking one of the ends/squeakers really quickly over and over, he'll grab the other end/squeaker and start doing the same thing with me. It was really cute until one of the squeakers stopped working about a week after I bought it... but I guess the toy wasn't too expensive, and he doesn't really seem to mind that one of the squeakers doesn't work anymore. I might buy another next time I do an Amazon order (so I can get the free shipping) and see if it lasts a little longer.

Great Toy For a Great Price
Color: Purple
My Aussie loves toys and plays with them as though she is a small child. She has a basket and will go to the basket and dig through it until she finds what she is looking for. Lately she has been using the bungee gecko as her toy of choice. She gets bored easily and will rip the stuffing out of most toys, the fact that this one has lasted 6 weeks or so is impressive with no rips, holes or missing limbs. Her favorite way to play is to come over to me and nudge me to play tug of war and we have broke many toys this way but so far we can play tug a war several minutes at a time and the gecko is still in one piece. For the price which is considerable less than some of her other toys I have already ordered a couple of replacements for the future. This is a great well built dog toy that has has a lot of give and can be stretched without ripping.

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.

Great Toy!
Color: Orange
This has been a great toy for our 11 week old German Shepherd. She absolutely loves it. I can get out all of her toys and lay them out with the exception of her "Lizzy" and she will immediately go to her toy bin and get it herself. Needless to say it is her favorite toy. She has had it a week now and she plays with it a lot, chewing and squeaking. It's a pretty amazing toy to have held up this long already and to date shows no sign of wear or damage. Lizzy just keeps going and going.

This item came with plush missingand thread unraveling on one leg
Color: Blue
I bought this toy because my dog spent a week playing with the same toy from Zanies that belonged to a visiting dog. My dog was very gentle with this toy, which he loved, so we decided to find one for him. The toy that arrived had no Zanies label and missing plush on the bottom where the label should have been, plus other bare spots in the area that showed the white mesh beneath. It also had a long thread at the joint of a rear leg so I knotted it at the joint and clipped it to prevent my dog from pulling at it but it's apparent that the sewing is loose and wont last long. The color was also much lighter than the toy he'd been playing with that belonged to the guest dog but I figured it might just be from a different dye lot (it was not bought at Amazon but their local pet store.) I am not convinced this is a real Zanies toy. There were two labels in French and it said it was made in China. I am returning this toy and will get a replacement and see how it looks. If it seems like it will fall apart or is not the real thing I will return it immediately. If it has a label and is in good shape and sewn well at the seams I'll revise this review.
