About Philodendron Golden Melinonii
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

How to fertilize Philodendron Golden Melinonii
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

Does Cloud Boy need a bigger pot? My #philodendrongoldenmelinonii is pushing out tons of growth but the #NewGrowth seems to be smaller than the older leaves. Some of his roots are barely poking out of the drainage holes, but unsure if I should repot or not (considering it’s getting cold here in #CentralTexasGang). 🪴 Should I give him a bigger pot? Would that affect his growth? Also, what causes these scars on the leaves? He’s all by himself on a shelf and doesn’t get brushed or moved. Could these be because of lack of humidity and water? 💧🌿 TIA!! 😁 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #NewGrowth #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #philodendronderrieres #GregGang #Greggers #PothosWater #kscapedream

Is this Mechanical or Pest Damage? 🌿🐛 When I got this plant, I noticed the leaves on my #Philodendron Golden Melinonii were a little scarred. I figured they were mechanical damage due to movement, packing and shipping, but they’re starting to get progressively worse. I’ve never seen it this bad but I’m worried it might be something else as well. I’m currently treating a few plants for #thrips but this Philo is no where near those that are/were affected. They’re in a different part of the house. I checked for pests and any other damage and did not find any. Just the scars :) Thanks!
