Philodendron Melanochrysum

Philodendron melanochrysum is a hemi-epiphyte native to Colombia and Costa Rica, prized for its velvety, elongated heart-shaped leaves and a distinctive crystalline sheen that catches the light. With a climbing growth habit and aerial roots, it creates a dramatic, luxurious accent in any plant collection.

Care:

Pet-Friendly: No, toxic if ingested

Care Level: Intermediate; ideal for plant enthusiasts familiar with humidity and light 

This plant is toxic to pets and humans—please place accordingly and handle with care.
