Feature
The Golden Philodendron (Philodendron gergaji 'Golden') is a showy hybrid variety celebrated for its glowing, lemon-yellow foliage that instantly adds a splash of sunshine to any indoor space. Its slender, arching leaves create an elegant, cascading appearance, making it perfect for tabletops, shelves, or as a centerpiece. As the plant matures, its foliage becomes more pronounced, creating a striking display. This low-maintenance climber grows in bright, indirect light and grows compactly indoors, making it an excellent choice for plant enthusiasts seeking a unique and radiant addition to their collection.
Best Locations For Growing Golden Philodendron
Place the Golden Philodendron in living rooms, offices, or bedrooms near a bright window with filtered light. Its bright foliage makes it a beautiful focal point, ideal for well-lit spaces. Avoid direct sunlight, as it may scorch the leaves. Keep it away from children and pets, as the plant is toxic if ingested.
Golden Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
The plant grows in bright, indirect light. Morning sun or filtered light is best. Place it near an east or north-facing window for optimal growth. If growing outside, keep it in the shade during midday to protect the leaves.
Golden Philodendron Care
This Philodendron variety is easy to care for, making it ideal for beginners. Use a moss pole or coco stake to encourage climbing and enhance the size and shape of the foliage.
Watering Golden Philodendron
Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. During the dormant winter months, reduce watering frequency. Make sure the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Feeding Golden Philodendron
Feed once a month during the growing season (spring to summer) using a balanced liquid fertilizer applied at a weak strength. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant's growth slows.
