A primary hybrid of Phil. sodiroi aff. × Phil. melanochrysum, two iconic velvety-leaved species from the tropical cloud forests of South America, it produces exceptionally large, heart-shaped leaves with a deep, lustrous green surface, prominent raised venation, and a rich, velvety texture inherited from its melanochrysum parentage. The imposing, climbing habit and monumental leaf size make it one of the most sought-after collector Philodendrons in cultivation.
- Light: Bright to moderate indirect light; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the velvety leaf surface, and avoid deep shade, which reduces leaf size and vigor.
- Temperature: 60–78°F (16–26°C); an intermediate grower that should be kept away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
- Humidity: 65–85%; high humidity is essential to maintain the velvety leaf texture and support large leaf development; use a humidifier or grow in a greenhouse environment.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry; avoid waterlogging, which can cause root rot in the large, fleshy root system.
Additional Notes
Grows best in a chunky, well-draining aroid mix of bark, perlite, and coco coir, trained on a moss pole or totem to encourage large leaf development. Ships well-established in its pot — ready to grow in your home or greenhouse.
