Philodendron Melanochrysum

This easy-to-grow, tropical philodendron will add colour and a feel of the South American jungle to a room. Popular houseplants for some time now, this species has a touch of coppery-gold veins to new leaves that fade to rainforest green as they mature. Technically a scrambling climber, Philodendron melanochrysum will benefit in time from the support of a moss pole to achieve its prominence in an indirectly lit corner and show off its unusual, velvet-textured heart-shaped leaves up to 75cm in length.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.
