The long, dangling, heart-shaped leaves of Philodendron melanochrysum are covered in a thin velvet nap that catches light with a multitude of tiny golden crystalline flecks, giving the foliage a dark, iridescent shimmer.
When young leaves first appear, they are warm bronze, but as they get older, they become almost dark green. It is a climbing plant that reacts strongly to vertical support; by providing it with a pole, the leaves will become much bigger and more striking.
