Water Philodendron mayoi thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as they dislike constantly wet feet.

Reduce watering frequency in cooler months to mimic their natural dormancy period and avoid root rot.

Prune Philodendron mayoi to maintain its desired shape and size, or to remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth.

Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best in spring.

Philodendron mayoi can be easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings that have at least two nodes. Remove the lower leaves and place the cut end in water or moist potting mix.

Roots will typically form within a few weeks, and new leaves will emerge.

Repot Philodendron mayoi every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil. Repotting is best done in spring.
