Philodendron melanochrysum are an extraordinary species, commonly referred to as "Black and Gold". They get this name from the new leaves emerging a gold color and then slowly fading to a dark green/black.
Philodendron melanochrysum will grow large elongated leaves if you allow them to climb! It's best to give them a pole or other support structure to attach to so they can live their best life!
These make a great indoor plant and will be the centerpiece of any room!
Philodendron melanochrysum care:
Ensure that your plant receives bright indirect light. Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between watering as they do not like to sit in excess water.
