4" Philodendron Golden Crocodile

Philodendron ‘Golden Crocodile’
The Philodendron Golden Crocodile is a rare and striking hybrid, admired for its dramatic, serrated leaves that resemble the jagged back of a crocodile. Its new growth emerges in brilliant shades of golden-yellow to chartreuse, maturing into deeper green tones. This colorful, textural contrast makes it a showpiece in any plant collection. With its upright, bushy growth habit, it’s excellent as a bold floor plant or as a focal point in bright interiors.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light keeps its golden tones vivid; too little light may cause leaves to darken
💧 Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; prefers consistent but moderate moisture
🌫 Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity; mist occasionally or use a humidifier
❄️ Temperature: Keep warm (65–85°F); protect from drafts and cold snaps
🐾 Pet Friendly: No (toxic if ingested)

Fun Fact: Golden Crocodile is a rare hybrid variety not commonly found in big-box garden centers—it’s sought after by collectors both for its unusual jagged foliage and its constantly shifting leaf color, which can glow almost neon in bright light. 🌿✨
