Philodendron Micans

Philodendron Micans is a cultivar of the classic Heartleaf Philodendron, known for its soft, velvety leaves that shift from a reddish bronze when young to a deep, iridescent green with age. Its trailing vines look great cascading from a shelf or climbing a moss pole.

How to take care of Philodendron Micans

Sun: Indirect

Aim for medium to bright lighting conditions indoors. If the leaves lose their vibrant coloring, move your Philodendron Micans closer to a well-lit window, but be cautious of harsh, direct rays that might scorch its delicate leaves.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. It’s best to place Philodendron Micans where it receives gentle morning sun or a couple of hours of afternoon sun, then indirect light the rest of the day.

Water: When Mostly Dry

Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. This prevents root rot and maintains the right moisture balance. Overwatering is one of the most common mistakes when caring for Philodendron Micans, so err on the side of underwatering.

Humidity: Any

While Philodendron Micans can adapt to average household humidity, it truly thrives in a slightly more humid environment. Consider placing it near a humidifier or on a pebble tray if you notice crispy leaf edges.

Pet Friendly: Caution

Philodendron Micans contains calcium oxalate crystals which can be toxic if ingested by pets. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs, and watch for any signs of chewing on leaves.

Pro Tip

Prune your Philodendron Micans regularly to encourage fuller growth and prevent leggy stems. Pinch back new stems just above a leaf node to promote branching and a bushier appearance.
