Philodendron melanochrysum --Black Gold Philodendron--
Philodendron melanochrysum --Black Gold Philodendron--
VERY rare! Easy but slow growing type with dramatic variegation. Please note that due to the nature of variegation, each plant is a unique individual. There will be some variability from plant to plant and even from one leaf to another on the same plant. For this reason, we are unable to guarantee a specific amount of variegation especially younger plants. Its stems are a beautiful red with white variegation while the leaves are variegated in in bright white to varying degrees. For best coloration, light should be on the brighter side. Slow growth is because nodes are packed closely, giving a very handsome, compact growth habit. Needs lots of bright sun, keep soil moist, keep warm (can't tolerate frost). Likes high humidity.
