Philodendron Micans

Philodendron Micans

Velvet in motion.

The Philodendron micans is one of those plants that rewards a second look. Its heart-shaped leaves shift from deep bronze to rich olive green depending on the light - each one softly iridescent, each one velvety to the touch. As a trailing plant, it cascades with effortless elegance from shelves, hanging planters, or trained up a moss pole.

Beginner-friendly in care, collector-worthy in character.

Pot size: 12cm | Approx. height: 20cm

✦ Care Guide

• Light: Bright indirect light brings out the best colour. Tolerates lower light but growth will slow and the iridescence will fade.
• Water: Water when the top 2–3cm of soil is dry. Consistent but not excessive - this plant forgives the occasional missed watering.
• Humidity: Appreciates humidity above 50%. A bathroom or kitchen windowsill suits it well.
• Temperature: 18–27°C. Keep away from cold draughts and frost.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with added perlite. Good aeration keeps the roots happy.
• Feeding: Balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer.
• Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when roots appear at the drainage holes.

Each plant is individual - leaf colouration number of stems and trailing length will vary naturally.
