Meet Philodendron ‘Mayoi’, the plant that’s basically a tropical treasure for your indoor jungle. With its dramatic, glossy green leaves that unfurl like tropical art, this philodendron adds mystery, texture, and elegance to any space.
 
Look & Personality
Leaves: Large, glossy, deep green, and slightly elongated with smooth edges. Each leaf has a sculptural, almost architectural shape that makes it feel like a living work of art.
Shape: Upright or climbing vine. Loves to drape elegantly or climb a moss pole or trellis.

Bonus: Its glossy, deep green leaves bring depth and richness, making it a perfect backdrop for other variegated or colorful plants.
 
Pet & Reptile Safety
⚠️ Important: Like most philodendrons, Mayoi is toxic to cats, dogs, and reptiles. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate mouths or cause digestive upset if ingested. Keep it out of reach from curious pets—admire it, don’t munch it!
 
Care Guide
Caring for this mystical beauty is surprisingly easy if you follow a few tropical basics:
Light: Bright, indirect light. Too little light = slower growth; direct sun can scorch leaves.
Watering: Let the top inch of soil dry between waterings. Overwatering = root rot and yellow leaves.
Soil: Well-draining aroid mix with perlite or orchid bark for aerated roots.
Support: Thrives climbing—moss poles or trellises help it grow tall and dramatic.
Temperature: Prefers indoor temps above 15°C and moderate humidity.
 
Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves: Usually from overwatering—check soil moisture and drainage.
Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or direct sun—mist occasionally or move to a brighter, indirect spot.
Leggy growth: Low light or lack of climbing support—give it a moss pole or trellis for lush, dramatic foliage.
