Philodendron Melanochrysum Mature. The philodendron melanochrysum is a beautiful tropical plant. Finding a small plant and growing it up is a more viable plan than looking for a mature specimen.
Melanochrysum is found naturally from columbia into ecuador and down to peru and is known to be variable. Both are sought after but the mature form is an absolute stunner. Philodendron melanochrysum is an absolutely stunning aroid.
The first image is a mature plant and the last image is the actual plant at auction.
The dark green almost black crystalline leaves show off a bright yellow vein. Verrucosum x melanochrysum has deep green velvet leaves maroon undersides and yellow veins. A post shared by mark aroid nerd. This philodendron has a juvenile form and a mature form.
