🌿 Plant Care Tips

Philodendron melinonii ‘Gold’ is a striking foliage plant selected for its vibrant golden‑yellow leaves and compact, clumping habit. Unlike many philodendrons that climb or trail, this cultivar tends to form an upright or slightly spreading stand of large leaves borne on stout stems. The leaves are elongated to broadly oval, with a smooth, glossy surface and minimal segmentation; their rich golden hue stands out in a mixed plant collection.

Native to: The species Philodendron melinonii is native to northern South America—countries such as northern Brazil, Guyana, Venezuela, Suriname and French Guiana. The ‘Gold’ form is a cultivated selection that emphasises the bright foliage colour rather than a natural wild‑variant.

Water: Allow the top ~2‑3 cm of the potting mix to dry before watering. Water thoroughly until excess drains, but avoid letting the plant sit in water as this cultivar is prone to root‑rot if over‑watered. 

Light: Provide bright filtered light—an east or west‑facing window is ideal, or a few metres back from a south‑facing window with sheer covering. Direct, strong midday sun can scorch the golden leaves; too little light will reduce the intensity of the colour and slow growth. 

Humidity: While this cultivar tolerates average indoor humidity levels, it benefits from moderate to moderately high humidity, ideally above ~50 %. Avoid placing near hot, dry radiators or very dry airflows. 

Temperature: Daytime indoor temperatures of 18‑26 °C are ideal. Do not allow temperatures to fall below about 15 °C. Protect the plant from cold drafts and avoid placing it in cold windowsill zones in winter.
