{"product_id":"philodendron-melanochrysum-orange-variegated-bareroot","title":"Philodendron Melanochrysum Orange Variegated (Bareroot)","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhilodendron Melanochrysum Orange Variegated carries the species' signature velvet-textured, near-black leaves broken by bold streaks of orange, coral, and cream, a variegation that gives this already-prized velvet philodendron an extra layer of collector appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Collectors Seek It Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilodendron melanochrysum is already one of the most sought-after velvet aroids for its dark, satin-sheen foliage and pale venation. The \"Orange Variegated\" form layers an unstable orange-to-cream break on top of that base, so the balance of color shifts leaf to leaf and plant to plant, exactly the kind of unpredictability that keeps variegated aroids in demand among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Aroid Climber\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike other Philodendron, it's a climbing aroid in habitat, reaching upward by aerial roots that grip onto trees and other support. The sap can irritate skin and is toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and curious hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBright Light, Warmth, and a Chunky Mix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it bright, indirect light, warmth between 18 and 27°C (65-80°F), and no cold drafts. A well-draining, chunky aroid mix with a moss pole or trellis to climb suits its vining habit; let the top layer of soil dry out between waterings rather than keeping it constantly wet. Variegated leaves carry less chlorophyll than solid green ones, so keep light bright but indirect to avoid scorching the pale sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRooted Bareroot Division\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing ships as a bareroot division, roots intact and soil removed for transit. Available sized to fit either a 4-inch or a 6-inch pot; the leaves are already open and showing color, close to what's shown in the photos, rather than a small unformed start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd Philodendron Melanochrysum Orange Variegated to your collection for a velvet-leaf climber with a bold color break, grown and shipped from ThaiFusion Botanica in Thailand with a phytosanitary certificate on every international order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ThaiFusion Botanica","offers":[{"title":"4\" Pot","offer_id":45752291393712,"sku":"PL-BR4001","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Pot","offer_id":45752291426480,"sku":"PL-BR6001","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/3881\/3872\/files\/melanochrysum-orange-variegated-6in.jpg?v=1793362218","url":"https:\/\/thaifusionbotanica.com\/products\/philodendron-melanochrysum-orange-variegated-bareroot","provider":"ThaiFusion Botanica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
