Philodendron golden crocodile

The Philodendron ‘Golden Crocodile’ is a truly unique and eye-catching plant, perfect for indoor plant enthusiasts looking to add a pop of vibrant color to their space. This stunning hybrid is known for its elongated, serrated leaves that emerge in a neon yellow-green hue and mature into a striking golden color. Native to tropical regions, the Golden Crocodile thrives in bright, indirect light and enjoys high humidity, making it an ideal choice for bathrooms, kitchens, or any well-lit room.

The long, narrow leaves of this aroid can grow up to three feet when mature, providing a dramatic display of tropical foliage. It is relatively easy to care for, requiring watering when the top layer of its soil or sphagnum moss slightly dries out. Overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot, and misting the leaves occasionally can help maintain humidity levels. Not only is it visually appealing, but it also acts as a natural air purifier, helping to filter toxins from the air, based on NASA studies.

For optimal growth, place this philodendron in a location that offers ample indirect sunlight and keep it away from direct sun exposure to avoid leaf burn. While this plant is a breeze to maintain, it’s worth noting that it is not pet-safe and should be kept out of reach of curious pets.
