Product Details
The philodendron melanochrysum is a striking aroid that many collectors are desperate to cross off their wishlist. Characterized by its long, heart shaped leaves with a velvety surface and uber thick cream margins that look similar to the anthurium veitchii, philodendron verrucosum or philodendron gloriosum, it’s no surprise it’s so desirable. You might be surprised however to find out that this stunning plant has some very different care requirements to the average philodendron.
Soil & Mixture
You’ll be glad to know that the ‘philodendron rule’ of providing an airy, woody and well-draining soil mix still applies here. Philodendron melanochrysums love a soil mixture that can both hold moisture AND let excess water quickly drain away. These mixes usually include a good ratio of coco coir, perlite, worm castings, orchid bark and activated charcoal.
Light
The melanochrysum will thrive when given lots of moderate to bright, indirect light. A few hours of that glorious cool morning or late evening sun can do wonders for this plant’s foliage growth.
Humidity
The philodendron melanochrysum needs (*craves*) high humidity levels to survive, think 70%+, minimum. The higher, the better.
