Philodendron Melanochrysum

This special and rare Philodendron melanochrysum originally grows at about 500 meters above sea level in the Andes (Colombia). These plants were originally called Philodendron andreanum, because this plant was first discovered by M. Andre. According to some experts, this is the best Philodendron for decoration. When the foliage is mature of the Philodendron melanchrysum, it can be compared to the Anthurium veichii and the warocqueanum.

The leaves can grow up to 1.5 meters long in the most natural conditions. The leaves have a velvety appearance and they change from a scarlet red hue to a bronze-ish reddish brown at first and then the leaves turn a bright and velvety green. The white midrib enhances this beautiful color development by the contrast it generates.

If this Philodendron melanchrysum develops flowers, it is best to remove them to allow the plant to retain its ornamental value. This plant likes a moist space and likes liquid food once a month in the summer.
