Care Guide for Philodendron melanochrysum

  • Light: Bright, indirect light brings out the richest colors; too much direct sun can scorch leaves.

  • Humidity: Loves 60%+ humidity; thrives in greenhouses or near humidifiers.
  • Temperature: Prefers 65–80°F (18–27°C).
  • Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during active growth.
  • Support: Provide a moss pole or wooden plank to encourage larger, more dramatic leaves.

Tips & Fun Facts

The Black Gold Philodendron gets its name from the golden shimmer on its dark, velvety leaves. Unlike many philodendrons, its foliage actually reflects light, allowing it to adapt to shaded rainforest understories. In the right indoor environment, this plant can climb vigorously, rewarding you with larger and more iridescent leaves over time. Collectors often compare it to Philodendron gloriosum and Philodendron verrucosum for its dramatic foliage.

6' 1" 225 lbs (formerly;-) athletic build
Size: XX-Large, Color: Burgundy, Size: XX-Large, Color: Burgundy
So I’m amending my review because I’ve now bought the black (as well as the red) suit. The suit I got this time has a paper XXL large label; I want to remember the red suit having the same but now I honestly cannot remember. It came just in time for Halloween and fit almost perfectly so I feel I didn’t pay enough attention to detail. And now I don’t know what’s what? My red pants (first purchase) measure about a 36” waist; my black pants (second purchase) measure about a 42” waist. The bust on my red suit measures about 46” and the bust on my black suit measures about 48”. Having said all that, here is my original review, which I believe is about a XL (not an XXL—which I believe would probably fit a 6’4” 260lb person); I’m not changing my words, just know from here forward XXL most likely refers to an XL (I’ll update my review when I get my next suit): I bought a XXL and it fits almost perfectly. I have a 46” bust and 36” waist and normally wear a tailored 42R and 36” waist x 30” inseam pants (so I normally can’t buy a suit off the rack where the pants aren’t a parachute). The jacket could be taken in maybe a half an inch but this is for a costume; as I mentioned: I wear a 46L and be sleeves could similarly be let out a smidgen as well; the pants couldn’t have fit much better considering the mixed reviews and EXTREMELY VAGUE sizing chart—the waist could be taken in half an inch. The material is a bit thin as others mentioned but on the whole it was a great purchase and I won’t have to do anything to utilize it for my costume.

Incredible Deal! I bought 2 full suits and absolutely love them!
Size: Medium, Color: Grey
Great looking suit! True to the American Size Chart! I got a lot of compliments the very first day of wearing it! I feel lucky, the Medium Fits like it was tailored! 5’11 (6’ with shoes on, ladies) 190lb. Stocky build. The stretchy waist band is a game changer fellas! Love that! Just like in the video they’re very fun to dance in! The Medium is a lil snug in areas for me but I am currently dieting etc, so if you don’t wanna worry I’m sure the next size up for you fits just as good and will have more breathing room for your arm muscles, thighs, mid section etc as the entire material itself is not stretchy, just the waistband which is incredible!. Overall these are a GREAT score at an amazing price! Perfect for that special occasion or for upgraded business attire! Great Quality! Great Value! and You’ll feel great about yourself in these when you find your faves!

Packaged in aWrinkled Ball and Bad Sizing
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I've tried 3 of these suits, 2 different sizes, and each one fits differently. Each one has also been crinkled up and wrinkled each time I opened it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was returned and sent right back out without inspection. Other reviews noted order a size up. I have a size 34 waist and normally order Large, so I ordered an XL. XL barely can be zippered up. So I returned it. Ordered and XXL. XXL is about 6 inches way too big and took 2 weeks to arrive. So I order and XL again, and once again, way too small, but still bigger than the first.. There is no tag on the pants, only the jacket, so I think someone screwed up the sizing or matching the jacket with the pants. Total waste of time with 3 returns. Label your products right and get your sizing chart right. There should not be an 8 inch difference between XL and XXL. Got another trip out to UPS, thanks...

Hubby looks good in it!
Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black
This suit is very nice! But it doesn’t have the pockets we were expecting. The left chest pocket is sewn shut along with the outside pockets. It doesn’t have 1 or 2 pockets inside the jacket. Hubby looks good in it!
