It responds especially well to vertical support – browse our handmade sphagnum moss poles to help your plant climb and produce larger leaves.
✨ Each plant is individually selected from our current stock. Leaf size, shape, and development may vary slightly – every Philodendron is naturally unique.

Philodendron Mayoi Care Guide
Meet the Philodendron Mayoi, your new favourite tropical houseplant that promises to bring a lush, jungle-like vibe right into your living room. With its unique, deeply lobed leaves and easy-care nature, it’s an excellent addition to any indoor plant collection.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so placing it near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal to diffuse the light.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Philodendron Mayoi when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which could lead to root rot.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)
Mayoi enjoys a warm environment typical of its tropical origins. Try to maintain room temperature between 18-25°C for optimal growth.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
As a tropical plant, it loves high humidity. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or a humidifier can help meet its moisture needs.
🪴 Repotting
Philodendron Mayoi should be repotted every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally enriched with peat or coco coir to retain some moisture. Consider adding a moss pole to support its climbing habit and encourage larger leaf growth.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Please note that Philodendron Mayoi is not pet-friendly. Keep it out of reach from pets to avoid any accidental ingestion, which can be harmful.
🏠 Recommended locations at home
This plant fits beautifully in well-lit spots away from direct sunlight. Ideal locations include living rooms with sheer curtains, bathrooms with frosted windows (thanks to their higher humidity), or kitchens with strong indirect light.
🌿 Air Purifying
Philodendron Mayoi is not just a pretty face; it also helps purify the air, making it a functional and attractive addition to your home or office.
