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.

Sound unexpectantly blasted for no reason. It malfunctioned!
I spent hours between installation and set up! I had to return it. I turned on NET (network) to play Sirius Xm and the volume was low but after a few minutes the sound turned all the way up to maximum completely on its own? This happened at least two more times. I contacted ONKYO and was told it is clearly defective and that their is no solution to correct the problem, and that I should return it immediately! I purchased the newer model and am pleased with its performance! It’s unfortunate because the first one that had the issue with the sound really played nice, but having sound change its volume so suddenly to its full capacity was not what I expected, nor felt comfortable enough to keep as I said I was told to return it, which I did! My advice here would be to purchase the newer model, which seems to be much more stable in its performance, and the quality is excellent.

Absolutely Love This Receiver
The Onkyo TX‑NR7100 has completely transformed my home theater. The sound quality is rich, detailed, and powerful, and the 9.2‑channel setup gives movies and music a level of immersion I didn’t realize I was missing. Dirac Live right out of the box is a huge win — the room correction made an immediate, noticeable improvement. Setup was smooth, the interface is clean, and everything from streaming to switching inputs feels fast and reliable. It also plays perfectly with the rest of my system, and the THX certification really shows in how cinematic everything sounds. I absolutely love this receiver. It’s one of those upgrades that makes you wonder why you didn’t do it sooner.

Incredible 9.2 Surround receiver at an unbeatable price.
I may return at a future date to give a more complete review, but others that are much more knowledgeable about audio equipment than I have already done so. For me, the Onkyo (Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel 8K/4K Network A/V Receiver) replaced a much older (2001) TX DS787 5.1 100 W Surround receiver that listed new for around $1050. I probably didn't pay quite that much but certainly something near $900. It was great for its time, perhaps even advanced with THX, Dolby, and other listening modes. But it didn't have: HDMI inputs or outputs, any BlueTooth capability, no hard wired or WiFi connectivity or basically any operating or connection modes that most all modern receivers have. This turned into a big problem with modern LED/LCD/OLED TVs, Alexa and other now common devices. I bought my new Onkyo TX-NR7100 from Amazon for $625. Other retailers (e.g.Best Buy) advertise it for up to $1200, so Amazon's price is outstanding. Set up was far more complicated (for me) than any previous receiver that I ever owned, mostly because there were a very large number of back panel input and output jacks, to and from the TV, as well as speaker outputs for 9.2 surround. Suffice it to say that once everything was connected properly (I made a few mistakes along the way), I was completely thrilled. The On Screen Display, completely accessible either from the front panel or the remote was far superior to anything I had ever seen before. Literally every operating parameter is accessible to the user. And I used most of them. It is also completely WiFi ready so my 150 Gbit home Wifi network lets it connect wirelessly and stream music error free. BlueTooth is also another way to connect almost any device to it for audio and audio/video playback if you connect the digital connections to and from a modern TV. It also speaks and listens to Alexa, although I must confess that I haven't played around with that much yet. This is already much longer than I had intended, so let it suffice to say that the Onkyo TX-NR7100 is an absolutely incredible receiver for an incredible price. I'd give it 8 stars if I could.

Sounds great.
Just received my Onkyo TX-NR 7100, watched a few YouTube videos before it arrived, so set up was easy. Ran accuEQ, I am getting new front speakers so I’ll wait to run Dirac. After accuEQ, I still had to make a few adjustments, to the speaker levels and especially the sub. It set my subwoofer way too low. As of right now having no problems with Bluetooth. I’ve only listened to music so far, can’t wait to watch a movie. For now I have a 5.1.2. System, getting new fronts, the Klipsch r51-m’s will go to the rear surround and Klipsch r41-m’s will be my height speakers in a 5.1.4 system. So far loving this avr. Update 2: Just calibrated with Dirac for the 6th time. They tell you if you sit in a recliner, reclined measure with it reclined. Well I measured with the chair in its upright position. It makes a huge difference I hear the surrounds much better. Btw I listen to all channel stereo, I know audiophiles say it sucks, however I listened to 2 channel stereo for 20 years, when there was nothing else. I didn’t buy a 9 channel avr to listen to 2 channel stereo. Like Randy the cheap audio man says “ audiophiles aren’t always right. If it sounds good to you, that’s all that matters.” So try calibrating in the upright position, or if you sit on a stationary chair or couch, try positioning the mic slightly forward of your listening position. It makes a huge difference. Hope this helps, enjoy. Update: Ok bought Klipsch rp-600m speakers for the front with 52c center. 51m surrounds, 41m rear heights. Polk owm3 front heights. Why Polk? Lighter easy to hang and as height speakers they are only there for atmos. Ran Dirac live, the application does what it would take several hours to make it sound like it does, if I even could get it to sound so good. Apple TV 4K with my Hisense U8K. The google tv interface is ok, but Apple TV is faster and easier. The Onkyo 7100 is a gem, runs pretty warm but I have it out in the open. If you are going to put in a cabinet I suggest a fan. Very happy with the whole system.

Well made, a solid connection.
Size: 6 Pairs / 12 pcs
I liked them. They really lock down on the speaker wire to make a firm connection. They seem well made and are easy to install. My system sounds great.
