Notes
Black gold philodendron (Philodendron melanochrysum) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance indoor spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is evergreen, so it keeps its leaves all year. A tall plant, it can climb well past 3 feet.
Pairs well with African mask, Polka dot begonia, and Norfolk island pine.
