The leaves of the 'Golden Crocodile' philodendron are large and glossy, with a smooth texture and a pointed tip. The leaves are deeply lobed and have a distinct shape resembling an arrowhead, which is typical of many philodendrons.

New leaves of the Philodendron 'Golden Crocodile' are so bright they almost glow, and eventually settle into a vibrant yellow sure to stand out on the shelf. They enjoy a bright, but not direct light and are an easy-to-grow Philodendron. The 'Golden Crocodile' can also be propagated by cuttings, and shared with friends.
