Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Choose Your Pot:
Philodendron Melanochrysum is a stunning houseplant known for its magnificent, heart-shaped foliage that transforms into long, velvety black-green leaves adorned with striking golden veins. This exceptional climbing aroid hails from the humid rainforests of Colombia, making it a true gem for indoor spaces. With its dramatic appearance, the Philodendron Melanochrysum adds texture and timeless beauty to any setting, making it a coveted choice among plant enthusiasts.
As a natural vining species, the Philodendron Melanochrysum thrives when supported by a moss pole or wooden trellis, allowing the foliage to mature and flourish to impressive sizes. You may notice tiny, clear droplets known as honeydew forming on the stems or underneath the leaves; this is a characteristic feature of healthy Melanochrysum growth. As the leaves develop, these droplets might occasionally leave behind faint, natural markings; these are purely cosmetic and add to the plant's unique charm.
We take pride in offering competitive pricing and swift dispatch across the UK from our London location. We carefully select each plant for quality, and it arrives ready to enliven your home. The Philodendron Melanochrysum comes in a 12cm nursery pot, with foliage measuring 40-45 cm. Please note that decorative pots are not included.

They got in touch because they were unhappy with the quality of the plant available in time for my order, giving me the choice to accept it or wait a short time for a better one. I waited, and was very pleased with the plant that arrived.
Healthy, mature melanochrysum (I ordered the larger pot size.). Packaging was excellent and delivery was fast. Spot on!
A beautiful plant, extremely healthy, well packaged and has settled well.
Lovely healthy plant with no damage
A sweet little, good-looking baby.
Plants arrived fast and in perfect condition and with new growth, I'd definitely order again (I got a baby philodendron Melanochrysum and a baby philodendron verrucosum)
The plant arrived in fantastic condition and super quickly, I paid extra for a heat pack as a precaution and I'm glad I did, but didn't need it due to the speedy delivery. A really lovely full young plant and I'm so happy!

Let customers speak for us
Surprised and delighted that the non-blooming option I chose turned out to be an orchid in full bloom! I have not noticed very much scent but I imagine that could be because the flowers are a little older. Absolutely beautiful regardless.
Fantastic healthy plants extremely well packaged. Would definitely buy again
