Philodendron eximium

Philodendron eximium is an eastern Brazilian climbing Philodendron with glossy green foliage and a hemi-epiphytic growth habit. In a pot, it needs an airy mix that lets water drain through freely while keeping the roots evenly moist between waterings.

The plant grows as a hemi-epiphytic vine with large, ovate to broadly ovate leaves, a cordate base and a paler lower surface. Mature foliage can become substantial, so indoor plants benefit from a stable vertical support before the stem becomes heavy.

Glossy climbing leaves on Philodendron eximium

  • Origin: Native to eastern Brazil, including southeastern Brazil and a northern record in Pernambuco.
  • Growth habit: Hemi-epiphytic climbing vine that can be trained onto a pole or other vertical support.
  • Leaves: Large green blades that are ovate to broadly ovate, with a cordate base and paler underside.
  • Roots: Needs drainage, even moisture and air around the root zone.

Philodendron eximium from eastern Brazil

Philodendron eximium is native to eastern Brazil and grows primarily in the seasonally dry tropical biome. Its climbing habit and aerial roots suit a loose, aerated substrate in indoor cultivation.

A vertical support helps the stem climb instead of bending around the container. Aerial roots attach more readily to a textured surface as the plant gains height.

Root-zone care for Philodendron eximium

  • Light: Give bright filtered light; low light can lead to stretched stems and smaller leaves.
  • Watering: Let the upper 20–30% of the substrate dry before watering again, then drain thoroughly.
  • Substrate: Use bark, pumice or perlite, and a modest organic fraction so roots stay aerated.
  • Support: Add a pole before the stem becomes long enough to lean heavily.
  • Humidity: Moderate to good humidity supports larger leaves and smoother unfurling.
  • Temperature: Keep above 18°C and avoid cold, damp conditions around the root zone.
  • Feeding: Use a balanced fertiliser at low strength during active growth, not when the plant is resting.
  • Potting: Use a pot with drainage and repot when roots have filled the container or the support becomes unstable.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node; single leaves without a node will not produce a new plant.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten the vine or redirect growth; remove damaged leaves close to the stem.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Can adapt to mineral substrates such as pon, pumice, lava or LECA if transitioned carefully and kept aerated.
  • Growth rate: Usually moderate indoors, with stronger climbing growth in warm, bright conditions.

Philodendron eximium indoor leaf and root issues

  • Yellowing after watering: Check whether the pot drains quickly and whether the mix has compacted.
  • Thin, stretched stems: Increase filtered light and secure new growth to a support.
  • Dry brown edges: Review watering consistency and avoid placing the plant near hot, dry airflow.
  • Root slowdown: If the plant stalls in a large pot, downsize or improve aeration before feeding more.
  • Pests: Check leaf undersides, petioles and new growth for spider mites, thrips, mealybugs or scale.

Philodendron eximium pet safety

Philodendron eximium should be placed away from pets. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, and cut or damaged tissue may irritate skin or the mouth.

Philodendron eximium etymology and publication

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek roots meaning tree-loving. Philodendron eximium was first published by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in Oesterr. Bot. Wochenbl. 3: 378 in 1853. The epithet eximium is formed from Latin eximius, meaning distinguished or exceptional.

Order Philodendron eximium for a Brazilian climbing Philodendron with broad green leaves, a pale underside and a strong vertical habit.

The width!!!!!
Size: California King, Color: Ivory
I've purchased this blanket several times. It's the only blanket I've found which is wide enough to tuck into my California King (Tempurpedic) mattress. Nice color selection. Soft and comfortable, like most modern fleece products.

SO SOFTTT!
Size: King, Color: Chocolate
Oh em gee! This is the softest blanket I’ve ever owned, I sleep SO good because of how buttery the blanket is. It’s breathable but also not super breathable, I personally like the “mid” weight of it, I’ve ordered a few prior and they were too thin for me, this blanket is perfect for me. Would definitely recommend and I want to buy all of them, and the price is perfect for me!

Keep em soft and lasting!
Size: Queen, Color: Dark Gray
Oh wow are these things soft. I bought them for my RV and Toy Hauler beds and they feel terrific. They are warm and probably won't come apart on you if you take care of them. The trick to that for me seems to be not to let them get "Crunchy". If you've owned these before you know what I mean. When the backing material begins to go and they fall apart in tiny chunks. This pro-tip is how mine have lasted longer than I had hoped: 1. Wash them in cold water. Hot water tends to get to these things after a few washed. Very little agitation as well. Don't spin them round and round and rip them up. Wash on the gentle cycle. 2. No bleach, color safe or not, and try to use very little detergent or use something like Woolite for delicates. Baby clothes detergent also works well. Something super mild. 3. Dry them with no or very little heat on a very low tumble. I tend to do the two I have together and that's all I put in the dryer. Mine have held up amazingly well for the abuse they take and they are a fluffy as new. This is a win product for the price, you won't regret it if you take care of it. Hope you found this helpful!
