Philodendron melanochrysum

Philodendron melanochrysum is an Araceae species from Colombia, known for deep green velvet leaves, pale to golden venation and adult blades that become much more elongated as the plant matures. Young leaves are smaller and more heart-shaped; older leaves gain their strongest proportions once the stem has steady upward support.

Direct sun can mark the soft leaf surface, dry air can make new growth stick or tear, and cold wet roots can slow the plant down. Bright filtered light, an airy mix, warm temperatures and higher humidity help new leaves open more evenly.

Philodendron melanochrysum leaf texture and mature shape

  • Family: Araceae, the aroid family.
  • Foliage: Deep green velvet leaves with pale to golden main veins.
  • Juvenile growth: Young leaves are smaller and more heart-shaped.
  • Mature growth: Leaves become larger and more elongated as the plant gains height.
  • Growth habit: A climbing Philodendron with aerial-root nodes along the stem.
  • Indoor development: Leaf size improves gradually on support, while young plants stay much smaller.
  • Growth rate: Moderate in warm, bright, humid conditions, slower when kept cool or too dry.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

How Philodendron melanochrysum develops on support

Philodendron melanochrysum grows from an upward stem, and adult leaf size improves when the nodes can attach to a vertical surface. A pole, plank or similar support gives aerial roots contact points and gives each new leaf enough room to expand.

In habitat, Philodendron melanochrysum is associated with humid Colombian forest, where climbing stems develop in filtered light and consistently warm conditions. Indoors, the same growth pattern needs an airy root zone, stable moisture and enough vertical space for the stem to continue upward.

The soft leaf surface should be protected from harsh sun and repeated handling. New leaves emerge delicate and can catch if the air is dry or the plant swings between too dry and too wet. Dry air and irregular watering are most visible while a new leaf is opening.

Care for Philodendron melanochrysum foliage

  • Light: Place Philodendron melanochrysum in bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch or bleach the leaves.
  • Water: Water after part of the mix has dried. Cold wet substrate can damage roots and stall new growth.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps soft new leaves unfurl without sticking or tearing.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and away from cold windows, cold floors and draughts.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix that holds light moisture while leaving air around the roots.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the mix has collapsed or the support no longer suits the stem height.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce feeding when light levels and growth slow.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node, kept warm and humid while rooting.
  • Leaf care: Avoid rubbing the surface; damaged areas can remain visible on mature leaves.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base or shorten an overlong stem above a healthy node.
  • Support: Provide a pole, plank or similar vertical surface so the stem can develop upward.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Semi-hydro can work when roots are adapted gradually and the reservoir stays clean and oxygenated.

Philodendron melanochrysum leaf issues and pests

  • Stuck new leaves: Low humidity or uneven watering can make soft new growth catch before it opens fully.
  • Brown leaf marks: Direct sun, dry roots or physical rubbing can damage the leaf surface.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check for wet roots, cold substrate or an old mix that has collapsed around the root zone.
  • Pests: Spider mites and thrips can hide on textured foliage and tender new growth, so inspect regularly.

Philodendron melanochrysum toxicity

Philodendron melanochrysum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, so leaves, petioles and stems should stay away from pets and children that may chew plants.

Botanical background of Philodendron melanochrysum

Philodendron was described by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode, and the genus name means tree-loving from Greek philo- or philein and dendron. Philodendron melanochrysum was described by Linden and André and published in L’Illustration Horticole in 1873. The species epithet melanochrysum combines Greek elements for dark or black and gold, referring to the contrast between the dark leaf surface and warm pale venation.

A velvet-leaved Colombian Philodendron with dark foliage, warm venation and elongated mature leaves on support.

Great for the storm shelter!
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
In our storm shelter we had some lights that we tried to hang up, multiple times, with no luck! Then I found these garage hooks. They are overkill for the lights, but I’m so happy that we now have lighting in the storm shelter. I could think of so many other uses for these. They strength of the magnets is awesome!

Magnet is super strong but hooks are not adjustable
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
I ordered this set of Mutuactor magnetic hooks because I was tired of thinking I had things organized and then finding previously hung magnets have slid down the wall. It was a first for me to have to assemble a magnetic hook. This was made slightly more difficult by requiring a wrench. So many items these days arrive with a disposable little hex wrench or whatever is needed for assembly. Not in this case. Maybe the manufacturer assumes if you are spending $15 per magnet to hang your tools you have a wrench handy. Anyway, I got my wrench and found no instructions. I know from life that the order is bolt-washer-lock washer-nut. The next question arose when I found one bolt and several holes... hmmmm. It looks like they wanted to provide the option to screw the hooks directly to the wall. I am not sure the average person would pay that price just for a hook, though. I chose a hole and it seems to be the right one. The good news is I was quickly in business. Soon one magnet was snatched by my husband for his rolling tool cart. He hung his (very heavy) Sawzall and the magnet never moved. He liked the rubber coating that protects his tools. I chose to take advantage of the amazing grip of this thing to hang my most used (and also very heavy) all-clad pan from the side of my fridge. The refrigerator had some sort of glossy powder coat and magnets hold well if you try to pull them straight off but end up sliding down anyway. This is where I came to appreciate the rubber shoe of this magnet. It protects my fridge but I think it plays an essential part in the grip strength of the magnet. I can not slide it around - I need to use two hands to pull it off then place it in another position. To give a magnet strength example I had one magnetic hook on my desk as I was writing this review. My nearby desk-size scotch tape dispenser came sliding over and the magnet grabbed it. I was able to lift the tape dispense just by the magnet grabbing the little piece of metal serrated teeth that cut the tape. There is no other metal in my dispenser. That's it! In summary, four stars because it REALLY grips and holds a lot of weight. Minus a star because I do think they are a little expensive, they required assembly without tools or instructions, and the hooks themselves are not adjustable. I have some similar magnetic hooks and you can move the two prongs apart or together depending on what your tool size is. These prongs are strong and firm and are not moving and this cuts down of the number of uses a little bit.

Develop some quality, worth-while hangups!
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
Organization is key for any shop space. This goes double for smaller shops. If you look around and DON'T see something that could benefit from getting off the floor and onto a peg or hook, I applaud you! For the rest of us, where can we get started? Here you go. These hooks come two in a package. The quality of these are easy to see. The powder coating is very nice as powder coating is more durable than paint. The orange plastic coating on the hooks feels thick and durable. Assembly is easy. There's a threaded post sticking out of the black rubber coated magnet "puck" that you insert into a opening on the hook and secure with washers and a nut. I like that they included both a washer and locking washer. If it matters, I always stack the fastener in the following order: washer, locking washer, then nut. Using a 14mm socket, I was done in no time. How's much will these hooks hold? The magnetic power on these hooks feels substantial. When I slowly approached the side of my metal toolbox, the magnet made an audible snap when it magnetized to the side. It felt strong! The bend at the base of the hook added stability pressing against the toolbox but didn't mark the surface since it was covered by plastic. It held my heavy 50a extension cable and the other hook held both my 25' and 50' pressure washer hoses. Neither moved at all and felt very secure. Whether your shop is your garage or basement, making the most of your space makes a difference and these can help. These are very strong and hold items safely. I'm very happy having these around and will be getting more. If you have a metal surface that you can attach hooks, give these a try. It's a quality solution!

Awesome product!!!
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
Wow when they describe these magnets as “super string” they are not joking! Magnets are so strong you must be careful when placing them on your metal cabinet, lest it pinch your finger when the magnet grabs the metal! This is an awesome product. The hooks have a hole in their base that fits over a threaded post / bolt coming out of the center of the magnet and the kit comes with two washers, lock washers, and bolts to attach the hooks to the magnets. Takes about one minute per magnet to assemble. Once on the wall they feel like they will hold a lot of weight though I did not try to test the upper limit. No problem at all holding yard tools and the like. The hooks or arms have a nice rubberized coating and extend about 4.5” out from the wall. At $15 each these seemed a little pricy but wow what a great solution for hanging things on metal walls. They work so well I will be buying more of these! I actually have some other similar very strong round magnets made for a similar purpose … but they do not have the “built-in” hooks like these do and it makes a big difference for the usefulness! Considering all of that I think they are a great value. Item reviewed: MUTUACTOR Updated Super Strong Magnetic Hooks,40lbs, 2-pack
