Philodendron Mexicanum is an easy to care for. The 1st 2 pictures are the plant in auction. The last 3 pictures are my stock plant.
Temperature: ideally,
should be 75F to 100F for fastest growing. From 35F to 60 F, it survives, but not growing either. Below 35 F, it will probably
die. The hardiness zone for this species is probably 10b.
Light: indirect sunlight.
A few hours of direct sunlight daily will not kill the plant once it is
established (with a healthy
root system and a few leaves). Once it's still being settled, leave it in the
shade.
Moisture: it loves
humidity. The higher is the better. It comes from the tropical
rainforest. Higher humidity will make the leaves larger.
Watering: Philodendron
loves humidity but also loves air. So don't drown your plant with water. You
don't
need to keep the soil wet the whole time, but don't let it completely dried out
either. Depend on your current weather, you water accordingly.
Soil: use a mixture of potting soil, tree barks, Perlite, charcoal.
Fertilizer: will help
the plant more robust with larger leaves. Follow manufacturer's
instruction. Do it lightly, maybe once every 2 weeks during late Spring
and Summer when it is making new leaves. Too much fertilizer will kill the
plant.
Support: if you want the plant to have larger leaves and stem, it has to grow vertically with a support.
