If you are searching for another rare Philodendron to add to your houseplant collection, look no further. The Philodendron Melanochrysum is one of the most underrated plants among botanical collectors. The leaves are a dark green hue, resembling black more than it does green, with yellow veins through each leaf. In fact, “Melanochrysum” translates to “black gold”, named after the unique coloring of this coveted Philodendron.
Background
