Philodendron Melanochrysum “Black Gold” is a striking tropical plant native to the rainforests of Colombia. Renowned for its large, velvety leaves with deep green to almost black hues contrasted by vibrant golden veins, this Philodendron adds sophisticated drama to any indoor space. As a houseplant, it thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Maintain humidity levels above 60% to mimic its natural environment and encourage healthy growth. Avoid direct sunlight which can scorch its delicate foliage, and water when the top inch of soil feels dry. With proper care, the “Black Gold” will reward you with lush, majestic foliage and elevate your interior aesthetics.

A climbing philodendron, Philodendron melanochrysum, or black-gold philodendron, is highly sought after for its luxurious, dark green, velvet leaves with striking yellow veins. To maximize its growth and leaf size (up to 24 inches), provide a pole for support, mimicking its natural tree-climbing habit.
