Philodendron Micans

Philodendron 'Micans,' also known as Velvet Philodendron, is a stunning houseplant with velvety heart-shaped green and bronze leaves that thrive in hanging pots or totems.

Care: Micans prefers bright to medium indirect light, which influences the color of its leaves; increased light keeps the leaves red/maroon, while lower light results in deeper green leaves. Micans grows\ best in an airy, moist, well-draining soil mix rich in organic matter. Water your philodendron once the top 2-3 inches of soil have dried out, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Native to tropical environments, it thrives in warm temperatures and typical household humidity levels, though extra humidity can boost growth. Light fertilization with a balanced all-purpose fertilizer during spring and summer helps promote healthy growth. Regular pruning in spring and summer will prevent legginess and encourage branching. While the philodendron micans rarely flowers indoors, its brilliant foliage makes it a popular choice for plant enthusiasts of all experience levels.
