Philodendron Micans, also known as the Velvet Philodendron, is an elegant climbing plant with a unique set of leaves that will bring a touch of sophistication to any gardener’s home. These leaves begin as pink-tinged chartreuse when they first emerge from the stems, but as they grow, they change to a rich, dark green color with a maroonish red on the underside. This, in addition to their soft, touchable, iridescent surface, helps give the plant its velvety nickname.

Philodendron Micans grows long, delicate vines, so consider planting it in a hanging pot or giving it a trellis, stake, or moss pole to climb up. It prefers well-draining soil in a well-draining pot, as it doesn’t like to have its roots too wet. Water it only when the top few inches of soil are dry, as overwatering can lead to root rot.

One other thing you have to think about when caring for this luxurious plant is that, while it and other Philodendrons can “tolerate” low lighting conditions, this isn’t ideal. If you want your Philodendron micans to really grow to its full potential, it needs bright, indirect sunlight like it would get in its native habitat in Mexico.
