Philodendron Golden Crocodile 6"
The Philodendron 'Golden Crocodile' is a striking, low-maintenance hybrid known for its vibrant neon yellow-green foliage and dramatic, saw-toothed leaf edges. This "self-heading" variety is a cross between Philodendron pinnatifidum and Philodendron melinonii, and it is often sought after for its prehistoric, exotic appearance.
Light: Needs bright, indirect light to maintain its vivid variegation. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the lighter parts of the leaves.
Temperature: Warmth is critical for this species. It prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F; higher temperatures typically encourage more pronounced variegation.
Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can quickly lead to root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (60% or higher), though it is moderately adaptable to average household levels.
Safety: Like other philodendrons, it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
