Best Locations For Growing Philodendron Mayoi

The Philodendron Mayoi thrives in living rooms, home offices, and bedrooms with medium to bright indirect light. It appreciates high humidity, making it ideal for placement near a humidifier or in bathrooms with natural light. Keep this plant out of reach of pets and children, as it is toxic if ingested.

Sunlight Requirements

This philodendron requires medium to bright indirect light to maintain its glossy, vibrant foliage. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. East- or west-facing windows with filtered light are ideal.

Philodendron Mayoi Care

Plant your Philodendron Mayoi in a well-draining aroid mix composed of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite. Support its climbing habit with a moss pole or trellis to help the plant mature into its full potential. Regularly wipe down its leaves to promote photosynthesis and inspect for pests. It thrives in temperatures between 65°F–80°F and prefers humidity levels above 60%.

Watering Philodendron Mayoi

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, saturating the mix until water drains out. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows.

Feeding Philodendron Mayoi

Feed every two months during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Fertilizing during the growing season encourages lush foliage and healthy root development. Refrain from fertilizing during fall and winter when the plant is dormant.
