Hi friends! I’m so excited to introduce my newest and first “rare” philodendron! He is a little guy right now but I plan on growing this philodendron melanochrysum to full maturity. I got him Tuesday 6/6 repotted him in a nice airy medium and added a moss pole Saturday 6/10. His roots look SO good and I’m already seeing his aerial roots starting to grow toward the moss pole! We did have a little bit of a rough start tho. I didn’t realize he had thrips when purchased. this is why his leaves look a little damaged. I was luckily able to get rid of them before they spread. If anyone has any tips for this guy lmk! :)
