Philodendron melanochrysum

Philodendron melanochrysum is an Araceae species from Colombia, known for deep green velvet leaves, pale to golden venation and adult blades that become much more elongated as the plant matures. Young leaves are smaller and more heart-shaped; older leaves gain their strongest proportions once the stem has steady upward support.

Direct sun can mark the soft leaf surface, dry air can make new growth stick or tear, and cold wet roots can slow the plant down. Bright filtered light, an airy mix, warm temperatures and higher humidity help new leaves open more evenly.

Philodendron melanochrysum leaf texture and mature shape

  • Family: Araceae, the aroid family.
  • Foliage: Deep green velvet leaves with pale to golden main veins.
  • Juvenile growth: Young leaves are smaller and more heart-shaped.
  • Mature growth: Leaves become larger and more elongated as the plant gains height.
  • Growth habit: A climbing Philodendron with aerial-root nodes along the stem.
  • Indoor development: Leaf size improves gradually on support, while young plants stay much smaller.
  • Growth rate: Moderate in warm, bright, humid conditions, slower when kept cool or too dry.
  • Safety: Toxic if chewed or swallowed by pets or children.

How Philodendron melanochrysum develops on support

Philodendron melanochrysum grows from an upward stem, and adult leaf size improves when the nodes can attach to a vertical surface. A pole, plank or similar support gives aerial roots contact points and gives each new leaf enough room to expand.

In habitat, Philodendron melanochrysum is associated with humid Colombian forest, where climbing stems develop in filtered light and consistently warm conditions. Indoors, the same growth pattern needs an airy root zone, stable moisture and enough vertical space for the stem to continue upward.

The soft leaf surface should be protected from harsh sun and repeated handling. New leaves emerge delicate and can catch if the air is dry or the plant swings between too dry and too wet. Dry air and irregular watering are most visible while a new leaf is opening.

Care for Philodendron melanochrysum foliage

  • Light: Place Philodendron melanochrysum in bright filtered light. Direct sun can scorch or bleach the leaves.
  • Water: Water after part of the mix has dried. Cold wet substrate can damage roots and stall new growth.
  • Humidity: Higher humidity helps soft new leaves unfurl without sticking or tearing.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and away from cold windows, cold floors and draughts.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix that holds light moisture while leaving air around the roots.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the mix has collapsed or the support no longer suits the stem height.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth; reduce feeding when light levels and growth slow.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node, kept warm and humid while rooting.
  • Leaf care: Avoid rubbing the surface; damaged areas can remain visible on mature leaves.
  • Pruning: Remove damaged leaves at the petiole base or shorten an overlong stem above a healthy node.
  • Support: Provide a pole, plank or similar vertical surface so the stem can develop upward.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Semi-hydro can work when roots are adapted gradually and the reservoir stays clean and oxygenated.

Philodendron melanochrysum leaf issues and pests

  • Stuck new leaves: Low humidity or uneven watering can make soft new growth catch before it opens fully.
  • Brown leaf marks: Direct sun, dry roots or physical rubbing can damage the leaf surface.
  • Yellowing leaves: Check for wet roots, cold substrate or an old mix that has collapsed around the root zone.
  • Pests: Spider mites and thrips can hide on textured foliage and tender new growth, so inspect regularly.

Philodendron melanochrysum toxicity

Philodendron melanochrysum contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, so leaves, petioles and stems should stay away from pets and children that may chew plants.

Botanical background of Philodendron melanochrysum

Philodendron was described by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1829 in Wiener Zeitschrift für Kunst, Litteratur, Theater und Mode, and the genus name means tree-loving from Greek philo- or philein and dendron. Philodendron melanochrysum was described by Linden and André and published in L’Illustration Horticole in 1873. The species epithet melanochrysum combines Greek elements for dark or black and gold, referring to the contrast between the dark leaf surface and warm pale venation.

A velvet-leaved Colombian Philodendron with dark foliage, warm venation and elongated mature leaves on support.

Clean ingredients, great price, but...
I want to love this product but I personally can't stand the oily texture and the smell. Maybe if you have super dry skin it will feel great on your skin PROS: The ingredients are great! super clean, the percentage of zinc oxide is perfect and almost the highest % recommended by dermatologists, so it protects the skin really well, no white cast because it's slightly tinted (a little cast at the beginning then it fades away) CONS (in my skin): it leaves my face super oily I have to use rice paper after I apply it to absorb the oiliness [sigh], I don't like the smell it bothers me a lot, it smells like old makeup.

Perfect Everyday Tinted Face Sunscreen
I am a long-time user of Think body sunscreen and tried this to replace my current department store tinted face sunscreen, which is being discontinued. I was amazed how well this performed, given the low price! It is literally 1/4 of the cost of my current face sunscreen and I am almost as happy with it! It was much lighter in tint than I was expecting, but blended easily and provided more "cosmetic" coverage than my current tinted face sunscreen, but without looking making me look made-up. My skin is light with reddish undertones, and it really helped to tone the red down as well, an unexpected bonus. That said, I typically use make up that is either the 2nd (or occasionally 3rd) from the fairest shade in the line, regardless of brand, and I am not sure how well this product would work on someone whose skin is even a little darker than mine, without being obvious. It is definitely too light for my sons, who have more olive-toned complexions. This product is highly moisturizing, and does take about 10 minutes to "set" before I feel comfortable applying powder to cover up the shine it leaves (a little more than a "glow"). Its efficacy is excellent--I really put it to the test outdoors and was pleased to see I had not to picked up any color from the sun when I washed it off. The other big plus is that it did not make me break out, and I have what my dermatologist calls, "reactive skin," which means anything from chemicals in face products to the hairdryer at the salon have been known to set it off. Finally, like their body sunscreen this face sunscreen gets a safety rating of "1" from the Environmental Working Group. I think I have found a winner!

Nice face sunscreen!
Great face sunscreen! It has high zinc and looks nice under makeup. I will continue to purchase. Not sure why it’s only a SPF of 30. It has 24% zinc which is higher. It’s a little thicker than some of the thinner ones I’ve used but I like that. I feel I’m getting good coverage

An Effective Sunscreen With Some Drawbacks
I like the safety and effectiveness of Thinksport tinted sunscreen. It's formulated carefully and I found it quite effective; I appreciate that it's not tested on animals. It is easy to apply and blends in with no chalky or white residue and doesn't come off easily (in fact washing it off later is not especially easy). I very much appreciated its effectiveness as I didn't ever burn when using this tube. With all that in mind why did I give it only three stars and throw away the tube before I even used half of it? Two reasons: I frequently run while wearing sunscreen and that, obviously, leads to sweating. When you sweat with this anything that you touch with a treated surface will be smeared with the brown tint of the sunscreen (particularly your shirt when your face, neck, or arms contact it, which may be more than you think). This looks akin to pancake makeup on clothes. It washed out of the shirts I got it on, but they did seem to get dingier after multiple cycles (especially around the collar). The second reason I didn't like this sunscreen is that when applied to the forehead and then perspiring this product really stung my eyes. I have had that product with some other brands as well, so it's definitely not a Thinksport exclusive issue, but still it's annoying. I used almost half the tube then switched back to my normal brand, which while also not ideal in some ways, doesn't have these issues. I have not given up on the Thinksport brand entirely, as I have recently purchased some of their untinted sunscreen. I have only used it a few times, but initial impressions are good. If you are unconcerned about the issues of staining from this product or you don't plan to wear it while doing anything strenuous, the tinted Thinksport sunscreen product may work great for you: it's easy to apply and quite effective.

Have to protect our skin! This works
My daughter in law recommended this. It is light weight but gives good Sun protection. The color tint is perfect. Easy to add to the morning skin routine
