Philodendron melanochrysum is a striking rare plant with exquisite foliage that becomes more and more beautiful as the plant matures.
The young plants we are selling here have smaller, broader, copper-red leaves, but when established they mature into superb plants with stunning long leaves; they have a velvety sheen with beautiful, pale green veins. Check out the photo of a mature plant to see what we mean!
Philodendron melanochrysum or black gold philodendrons is one of the best climbing foliage plants, with large heart-shaped leaves that are typically 20-30cm long. When grown in ideal conditions they can grow even longer. One of the most popular Philodendron on Instagram, it just gets better and better with age.
