Philodendron maximum

Philodendron maximum is an Araceae species from tropical South America, grown for broad green foliage and adult leaves with a semi-glossy surface. Mature blades can develop a narrowly ovate, sagittate or triangular-sagittate outline, giving older plants a strong vertical presence on support.

The climbing stem needs a stable vertical surface, while the expanding blades need open space around the plant. Bright filtered light, warmth, steady moisture and a chunky substrate help the roots stay aerated as the plant gains size.

Broad adult leaves and climbing growth in Philodendron maximum

  • Family: Araceae, the aroid family.
  • Foliage: Large green leaves with a semi-glossy surface.
  • Leaf shape: Adult blades can be narrowly ovate, sagittate or triangular-sagittate.
  • Petioles: Sturdy petioles hold the blades away from the climbing stem.
  • Growth habit: A climbing Philodendron that needs vertical room as it matures.
  • Indoor development: Leaf size increases gradually on support when warmth, light and root health stay steady.
  • Growth rate: Moderate to strong in warm, bright, humid conditions, slower in cooler or darker periods.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

Indoor growth for Philodendron maximum

Philodendron maximum develops from an elongating stem with aerial-root nodes. A pole, plank or similar support gives the stem contact points, while an airy, evenly moist substrate keeps oxygen around the thicker roots.

The species is associated with wet tropical forest in South America, with records from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil and Bolivia. Indoors, the same growth pattern needs warm temperatures, filtered light and enough space for each new blade to open without rubbing against a wall, shelf or neighbouring plant.

Care for Philodendron maximum foliage

  • Light: Place Philodendron maximum in bright filtered light. Harsh direct sun can mark large leaves.
  • Water: Water after part of the mix has dried. A large pot that stays wet for too long can stress the roots.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and protected from cold windows, cold floors and draughts.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with enough structure to stay open around thick roots.
  • Support: Give the climbing stem a sturdy pole, plank or similar vertical surface before the plant becomes heavy.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the mix has compacted or the support no longer suits the stem height.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce feeding when light levels and growth slow.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node, kept warm and humid while rooting.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base or shorten an overlong stem above a healthy node.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Semi-hydro can work when roots are adapted gradually and the reservoir stays clean and oxygenated.

Philodendron maximum leaf tearing, yellowing and slow growth

  • Yellow lower leaves: Check for wet roots, old compacted mix or a pot that dries too slowly.
  • Damaged new leaves: Expanding blades can tear if humidity drops or the leaf rubs against nearby surfaces.
  • Slow growth: Cold conditions, weak light or root stress can interrupt leaf expansion.
  • Pests: Inspect leaf backs, petioles and new growth for thrips, spider mites, mealybugs and scale.

Philodendron maximum toxicity

Philodendron maximum has insoluble calcium oxalate crystals in its leaves, petioles and stems, so it should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plants.

Botanical background of Philodendron maximum

Philodendron was described by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode, and the genus name comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving. Philodendron maximum was described by K. Krause and published in Das Pflanzenreich in 1913. The species epithet maximum is the neuter form of Latin maximus, meaning largest or greatest.

A large-growing climbing Philodendron with broad semi-glossy leaves, sturdy petioles and a strong mature form on support.

Comfortable but NOT SEAMLESS.
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack), Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack)
They are soft and well-made, but they are definitely NOT SEAMLESS, which was my whole point in buying them. There are two cross-seams, as well as a fairly thick hem seam on the legs. If you have a problem with inner thigh or genital chafing, you may want to look at a different brand. Otherwise, these are comfortable and well made. FYI, the ones I received had a matching inner liner, not a white one as some reviewers have noted.

Buying another package
Size: Large, Color: Multicoloured D (5-pack)
Oh my gosh, I love these!!! They are very comfortable and not overly tight. The material is so thin and breathable, very comfortable. Love the colors. Am buying another package! I'm in perimenopause and these definitely keep me cooler than my tradition cotton underwear.

Comfortable but Runs Small
I got the wirarpa Men’s Cotton T-Shirt 2-pack in XX-Large (Black/Gray) and while the shirts are really soft and breathable, they do run small. The XX-Large feels a bit tighter than expected, especially after washing. The cotton material is great and comfortable, but I would recommend sizing up if you’re looking for a more relaxed fit. The classic crew neck design is versatile, and the shirts are well-made. They hold up well in the wash and maintain their softness. Even though the sizing is a bit off, the quality and price are still excellent for the value. If you’re okay with a slightly snug fit or decide to size up, this is still a great purchase!
