Philodendron melanochrysum

Philodendron Melanochrysum, also known as Black Gold Philodendron, is a stunning plant native to the tropical regions of South America. This unique variety of philodendron is admired for its velvety, deep green leaves that shimmer with a golden sheen. The name “melanochrysum” is derived from Greek, where “melano” means black, and “chrysum” refers to gold, perfectly describing its large, dark green velvet leaves with their subtle golden shimmer. This plant is truly a showstopper, making it a must-have for any rare plant enthusiast.

The Black Gold Philodendron is ideal for more experienced plant collectors who can provide the high humidity it craves. This climber thrives when grown on a moss pole or trellis, making a dramatic and elegant statement in any indoor space.

To support its climbing habit, you can pair it with a fresh sphagnum moss pole and a drip cup to keep it moist, both of which are available on our website. These help the plant anchor its aerial roots and maintain optimal moisture levels. Please note, due to the nature of the product, some leaves may have minor cosmetic damage, which does not affect the plant’s overall health.
