Philodendron micans

Philodendron micans

• Tropical vine with heart-shaped, grey-green leaves with purplish undersides, which have a remarkable velvety texture.
• Can be allowed to trail or trained upright on a support.
• Rare collector plant; an amazing gift for a plant lover!

Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect (east or west window). Leaves may scorch if exposed to hot afternoon sun.
• Water: Water when the top 30% of soil has dried out; avoid overwatering or allowing the soil to remain dry for an extended period.
• Fertilizer: Use an all-purpose fertilizer such as Schultz Indoor Plant Food (10-15-10) once or twice monthly.
• Other tips: Grows best in an undersized pot. Use well-drained potting mix; we recommend Pro-Mix Tropical Plant Mix with extra perlite and small Orchiata added. Leaf margins may brown under very low humidity. Mist frequently or use a humidifier if necessary.
