About the plant:
Philodendrons, or simply philodendrons, are plants from the Araceae family. It comes from the rainforests of Central and South America. This particular rare cultivar is sometimes also called Black Gold Philodendron (black and gold) and is truly unmissable! The beautiful dark green velvety leaves have light green veins, the young leaves are even pink to orange before they develop. It grows more slowly than other philodendrons, but its leaves are so distinctive and interesting that just looking at them makes up for it. Adult leaves have an elongated heart-shaped shape, they can grow up to 25 cm in length.
It belongs to the Araceae family - so beware, it is poisonous! These plants contain calcium oxalate crystals in their tissues, which after ingestion cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and digestive tract. But if we place it in a safe place where children and pets can't reach it, its beautiful leaves will surely catch everyone's eye.
