Philodendron Melanochrysum, the velvet philodendron with golden highlights

Philodendron melanochrysum , native to the rainforests of Colombia and Ecuador, is an epiphytic climbing plant belonging to the Araceae family. It can reach several meters in length when mature, with juvenile leaves growing up to 60 cm once the plant is well established. Its rapid growth makes it one of the most spectacular species of the Philodendron genus, highly prized by collectors of large-leaved tropical plants.

Its foliage is strikingly beautiful: each leaf has a velvety texture of a deep, almost black green , traversed by golden and copper veins that catch the light at every angle. This graphic foliage with its shimmering reflections evolves with the seasons, the new leaves often appearing in bronze or copper tones before gradually darkening. The tropical canopy from which it originates gives it its slender, naturally climbing habit, ideal with a support to guide it upwards.
