Philodendron ‘Golden Dragon’ is a bold, fast-growing hybrid with foliage that looks like it belongs in a mythical jungle. Its large, deeply lobed leaves are shaped like dragon heads, splashed with golden-green variegation that gives the plant its name. As the plant matures, the leaves grow even larger and more dramatic, making it a true statement piece for any collection.
Unlike some rare variegated philodendrons, ‘Golden Dragon’ is relatively easy-going. It climbs naturally, so providing a moss pole or support will encourage bigger leaves and stronger patterns. Each new leaf brings something different — sometimes heavy golden marbling, sometimes subtle speckling — so the plant always keeps you guessing.
Native to the tropical aroid family, it thrives in bright, indirect light, a chunky, well-draining mix, and steady moisture without being waterlogged. With warmth and humidity, it will reward you with fast, impressive growth that quickly fills a corner of your indoor jungle.
If you’re after a philodendron that combines rarity with strength and presence, Philodendron ‘Golden Dragon’ is a perfect choice — a vigorous climber with foliage that looks nothing short of legendary.
Philodendron 'Golden Dragon' - 17cm/40-60cm
The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Philodendron:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
