With its dramatic, velvety foliage and elegant trailing growth, the Philodendron Melanochrysum is perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any space. Use it as a focal point on a plant shelf, let it cascade from a high bookshelf, or train it up a coco pole to create vertical interest in a corner. Its rich texture and deep green tones make it a stunning contrast against light walls, minimalist décor, or alongside other tropical plants for a lush, layered look.
The Melanochrysum prefers bright, indirect light with filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its velvety leaves. Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. The best temperature range for most interior foliage plants is between 16-27°. Keep away from cold draughts.
