Philodendron Melanochrysum Variegated Orange care essentials
- Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Direct sunlight may scorch leaves, while too little light can reduce variegation intensity. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Water: Water when the top ~2–3 cm (or ~1 inch) of soil has dried. Maintain lightly moist but never soggy conditions to avoid root rot. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- Humidity: Prefers humidity levels of ~60% or higher for vibrant growth and stable variegation. Adaptable to normal indoor humidity if airflow is sufficient. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Temperature: Ideal range is ~18–27 °C (65–80 °F). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below ~15 °C (60 °F) as they stress the plant. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Soil: Use a well-draining aroid mix rich in organic matter (e.g., bark, perlite, charcoal) to support healthy growth and prevent water-logging. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

Please note:
Plants are living organisms and their appearance can change naturally over time.
Variegated plants such as Melanochrysum Variegated Orange may show delicate or easily-marked leaves when variegation is strong. This is normal and not a sign of poor health.
We do our best to pack every plant safely, but minor cosmetic damage may occasionally occur during transit. Thank you for your understanding.
