Philodendron Micans 15cm

✨ Philodendron micans

Velvet vines with a vintage glow. Native to Mexico and the Caribbean, Philodendron micans is a variety of Philodendron hederaceum prized for its iridescent foliage. Each leaf unfurls in coppery tones, maturing into deep green with a velvety finish that catches the light like brushed suede. Whether trailing from a shelf or climbing a moss pole, it adds a soft, romantic vibe to any space.

It’s forgiving, fast-growing, and endlessly photogenic—ideal for collectors who want drama without the fuss.

🌿 Care Guide: Let Your Micans Shine

💡 Light: Bright, indirect light keeps the colors vibrant. Lower light = deeper greens; higher light = more bronze and red tones. Avoid direct sun—it crisps the velvet.

💧 Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. Micans prefers slightly moist soil but tolerates brief dry spells. Overwatering = root rot.

🌱 Soil: Airy, well-draining mix: peat or coco coir + perlite + orchid bark. Think breathable, moisture-retentive, and loose.

💨 Humidity: 50–80% is ideal. Higher humidity enhances leaf size and sheen. Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray.

🌡️ Temperature: 18–29°C is perfect. Keep away from cold drafts and sudden drops.

🍽️ Feeding: Feed monthly in spring/summer with diluted liquid fertilizer. Skip feeding in winter.

🌿 Growth Habit: Trailing or climbing vine. Use a moss pole for larger leaves or let it cascade for a soft, romantic look.

🐾 Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested—keep out of reach of pets and children.
