Philodendron melanochrysumproduces long, pendant, heart-shaped leaves covered in a fine velvet nap that catches the light with thousands of tiny golden crystalline flecks, giving the foliage a dark, iridescent shimmer. Young leaves emerge a warm bronze before deepening to near-black green as they mature. It is a climbing species that responds dramatically to vertical support: give it amoss poleand the leaves will grow significantly larger and more impressive.
