• The yellow vein traces its’ way through the leaf to form a unique pattern.
• The crystalline appearance on the leaves resembles specks of gold, and in fact, “Melanochrysum” means “black gold”.

LIGHT REQUIREMENT

• Set the plant in a location with bright, indirect sunlight.
• While it’s normal for older leaves to yellow, if this happens to several leaves at the same time, the plant may be getting too much light.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• When growing philodendron plants, allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• The length of your index finger to the first knuckle is about an inch, so inserting your finger into the soil is a good way to check the moisture level.
