Philodendron melanochrysum – Velvet Leaf Philodendron 🌿✨
(Collector Climbing Aroid)
Velvety, luxurious, and highly sought after, Philodendron melanochrysum is a true collector favourite loved for its long, heart-shaped leaves with a deep, dark green velvet finish and striking golden-bronze veining. As the plant matures and climbs, the leaves become longer and more dramatic, creating a stunning cascading or climbing tropical display that feels straight out of a rainforest.
Thriving in warm, humid climates like FNQ, Philodendron melanochrysum performs best with warmth, humidity, and stable moisture. Given support like a moss pole or totem, it will reward you with larger, more mature foliage over time, making it a dream plant for aroid lovers and collectors.
🪴 Planting tip: Prefers bright, indirect light and a chunky, free-draining aroid mix. Keep soil lightly moist but never soggy. Loves humidity and benefits from climbing support for larger leaves. Avoid harsh direct sun and letting it fully dry out.
🌸 Flowering: Rare indoors; grown mainly for its stunning velvet foliage.
📏 Mature size: Leaves can reach 60–90 cm long when mature with climbing support.
🧡 Your plants: Healthy, well-established Philodendron melanochrysum with velvety foliage and fresh new growth, ready to climb and become a collector showpiece. In 140mm pots.
