Philodendron Melanochrysum
Philodendron Melanochrysum is a stunning plant known for its velvety, dark green leaves with a subtle golden sheen. As the plant matures, its leaves can grow impressively large, creating a dramatic and luxurious effect in any bioactive vivarium. This climbing species is perfect for adding height and a lush, tropical atmosphere to your setup.
Care
Lighting Requirement: Philodendron Melanochrysum thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps it maintain its deep green coloration and healthy growth. While it can adapt to lower light conditions, the plant will grow more slowly and may lose some of its vibrant color. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
Watering & Humidity: Keep the soil consistently moist, allowing the top inch to dry out slightly between waterings. This plant loves high humidity, making it an excellent choice for tropical vivariums. Regular misting or placing it near a humidity source will encourage lush growth.
Temperature Requirement: The ideal temperature range is between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Philodendron Melanochrysum prefers warm conditions and should be kept away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F (16°C).
