Philodendron ‘Malay Gold’ is a Golden Goddess hybrid with bright chartreuse yellow, elliptical leaves. Best color and growth in bright, indirect light. Good for interiorscapes. Makes a great houseplant! Best grown in fertile, organic, acidic soil that is moist but never waterlogged. Allow the soil to mostly dry out between waterings.
