Philodendron ‘Golden Violin’, the plant that’s basically a violin-shaped superstar for your indoor jungle. With its dramatic golden-yellow leaves and bold, glossy green stems, this philodendron doesn’t just sit there—it demands attention.
Look & Personality
Leaves: Bright, glossy golden-yellow when young, maturing to a green-gold mix. Each leaf is shaped like a violin, giving it instant visual drama.
Shape: Upright, trailing, or climbing, depending on support. Perfect for moss poles, trellises, or as a statement plant on a shelf.
Size: Medium when young, but with proper care it can grow into a large, architectural focal point.
Bonus: The golden hue is more intense with bright, indirect light, making your plant basically glow indoors.
Pet & Reptile Safety
⚠️ Important: Like most philodendrons, Golden Violin is toxic to cats, dogs, and reptiles. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate mouths or cause digestive upset if ingested. Keep it out of reach—this superstar is for looking, not snacking.
Care Guide
Caring for this golden beauty is surprisingly simple if you follow a few aroid basics:
Light: Bright, indirect light. Too little light = dull leaves; too much direct sun = scorched edges.
Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry between watering. Overwatering = sad leaves.
Soil: Well-draining aroid mix with perlite or orchid bark to keep roots happy.
Support: Loves to climb—moss poles or trellises are ideal for showing off its shape.
Temperature: Prefers indoor temps above 15°C and moderate humidity.
Troubleshooting
Dull or fading color: Usually too little light—bright indirect light revives the golden hue.
Brown leaf tips: Could be too much direct sun, low humidity, or inconsistent watering.
Leggy growth: Low light or no climbing support—train it up a moss pole or trellis.
