Philodendron Calkins Gold

Philodendron Calkins Gold is a vining aroid with elongated, spade-shaped leaves marbled in deep green, lime, and golden yellow. Every leaf comes out a little different, and it can be trained up a moss pole or let trail from a hanging basket.

All the Details You Need to Know

The Story Behind This Plant

Philodendron Calkins Gold is a hybrid variety in the Araceae family, native to the tropical Americas. Like many Philodendrons, it starts life on the forest floor and climbs toward the light, which is why it responds so well to a moss pole indoors.

How to Keep It Happy
  • Light: Bright, indirect light keeps the gold variegation vivid. Too little light causes it to fade toward green.
  • Water: Let the top 30 to 50 percent of the soil dry out between waterings.
  • Soil: Use a chunky, well draining aroid mix with perlite and orchid bark.
  • Humidity: Average humidity is fine, though it grows faster around 60 percent.
  • Support: A moss pole encourages larger, more mature leaves over time.

Common Questions

Why is the gold color fading on my plant?

This usually means it needs more light. Move it closer to a bright window with indirect light.

Does it need a moss pole?

Not required, but it encourages larger leaves and a more mature look over time.

Is it safe for pets?

No, like other Philodendrons it contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to pets if ingested.

How often should I water it?

Let the soil dry out partially between waterings, roughly every 1 to 2 weeks.

How to take care of Philodendron Calkins Gold

Sun: Indirect

Philodendron Calkins Gold will tolerate medium light, but brighter conditions encourage more vibrant golden tones and fuller growth. In lower light, growth may slow and the color can appear more green than gold. For best results, keep Philodendron Calkins Gold in a room with consistent brightness rather than deep shade.

Light: Medium - Bright

Philodendron Calkins Gold enjoys some gentle direct sun, but it truly thrives in bright, indirect light. It is best to place Philodendron Calkins Gold near an east facing window where it can receive soft morning sun, then indirect light for the rest of the day. Harsh midday sun can fade or scorch the golden leaves, so filtered light is ideal.

Water: When mostly dry

Allow the top half of the soil to dry before watering Philodendron Calkins Gold. It prefers a steady cycle of drying slightly between waterings rather than staying constantly wet. Overwatering is the most common issue, so make sure the pot has drainage and never let it sit in excess water.

Humidity: Any

Philodendron Calkins Gold adapts well to average indoor humidity. While it appreciates slightly higher humidity, especially during winter heating season, it does not demand tropical levels. If your home feels comfortable to you, it will likely feel comfortable to Philodendron Calkins Gold.

Pet Friendly: No

Philodendron Calkins Gold is not pet safe. Like other philodendrons, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if chewed by cats or dogs. Keep Philodendron Calkins Gold out of reach of curious pets.

Pro Tip

Use a chunky, well draining soil mix for Philodendron Calkins Gold, something airy with bark and perlite. The roots like oxygen just as much as moisture. If the leaves start losing their golden glow, check the light first. More brightness often brings the color right back.
