This beautiful climbing philodendron has velvety deep green leaves with soft golden veins that look almost jewel like. As the plant matures, the leaves can grow long and elegant, giving it a lush tropical look.
Lighting & Position
Philodendron melanochrysum grows best in bright indirect light. Too much direct sun can burn its soft leaves, and low light can cause stretched or leggy growth.
Keep it in a warm and stable spot away from cold draughts or strong airflow.
Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist, but let the top few centimetres dry slightly before watering again. Overwatering may cause root rot. Allowing the plant to become too dry may lead to drooping or crisp leaf edges.
A consistent watering routine helps keep it healthy. Always use a pot with good drainage so extra water can escape.
Humidity
This plant prefers a high humidity environment. You can increase humidity by grouping plants together, using a humidifier or placing the pot on a pebble tray.
Avoid heavy or frequent misting on the leaves, as they have a velvety texture and can develop spots if moisture sits on the surface.
Feeding
Feed every 4 to 6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength. Reduce feeding during the cooler months.
