Philodendron Micans 🌿

A trailing, velvety-leaved plant with heart-shaped leaves in deep green with bronze undertones. Ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a cascading accent in indoor spaces.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight.

• Tolerates: Moderate indirect light.

• Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves; very low light slows growth and dulls leaf color.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out between waterings.

• Frequency: About once a week in warm months; reduce in winter.

• Tip: Use room-temperature, filtered, or distilled water to prevent brown leaf tips.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining, airy mix (peat + perlite + cocopeat).

• Pot: Use a container with drainage holes; hanging baskets work beautifully to show trailing stems.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer.

• Type: Balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.

• Skip: Fertilizer in fall and winter.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Trim leggy stems to encourage fuller growth.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and highlight the velvety texture.

• Repotting: Every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (50–70%); mist leaves or use a pebble tray.

• Temperature: Thrives between 18–27°C (65–80°F); avoid cold drafts.

⚠️ Toxicity

• Caution: Toxic if ingested by pets or children; can cause mild irritation.
