Philodendron Melanochrysum Rare

Philodendron melanochrysum, commonly known as black-gold philodendron, is a rare type of vining philodendron that has become popular as a houseplant due to its gorgeous, large, velvety deep green foliage with contrasting yellow veins. Philodendron melanochrysum grows best in warm, tropical conditions and requires dappled sunlight, moist and acidic soil, and higher-than-average humidity. The plant is toxic to humans and animals

Philodendron Melanochrysum Care

Here are the main care requirements for growing a Philodendron melanochrysum.

• Place the plant in a spot that receives dappled sunlight, not direct light.
• Choose rich, organic, well-draining soil.
• Schedule regular and thorough waterings.
• Give a maturing plant a structure to climb, such as a moss pole or trellis.
• Cut off the rare green flower spathe (if you ever see one) to redirect the plant's energy back to its beautiful foliage; this plant is grown for its velvet foliage.
