I prefer Philodendron melanochrysum to Philodendron micans because the leaves of Philodendron melanochrysum are much larger than those of Philodendron micans when mature. They are also different in color. Philodendron melanochrysum is golden with a little dark green or black, while Philodendron micans leaves are reddish bronze green, and there is an emerald green color.
