🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vivid golden hue. Avoid harsh direct sun, which may cause burn spots. Ideal for bright European interiors — position near an east- or west-facing window for perfect colour retention.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water when the top 2–3 cm of substrate feel dry. Keep soil moist but never waterlogged. Enjoys moderate to high humidity (60–80%), so it thrives near a humidifier or grouped with other tropicals.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a chunky, airy aroid substrate — a blend of coco coir, orchid bark, and perlite works perfectly. As a P3 plug plant, transplant it into a small nursery pot right after arrival. Our aroid soil mix supports healthy root growth and strong foliage colour.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Toxic if ingested. Like most Philodendrons, contains calcium oxalate crystals. Keep away from pets and children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Fast-growing and vining once mature. Provide a moss pole or coir stick for vertical support to encourage larger, deeply lobed leaves. Propagate by stem cuttings during spring or summer — roots form easily in sphagnum moss or water.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced aroid fertilizer. In winter, reduce watering and maintain temperatures above 18 °C. Wipe leaves occasionally to preserve their glossy, golden sheen.
🐛 Common Issues
- Pale leaves → insufficient light or nutrient deficiency
- Yellowing → overwatering or poor drainage
- Watch for spider mites or mealybugs under leaves during dry indoor months
