Philodendron Micans is likely the most popular vining indoor plant currently on the market. These plants have very soft, velvety leaves. When the new leaves emerge they are a dark orange and slowly fade to green.
As an indoor plant, Philodendron Micans is a great choice. They are well adapted to different growing conditions and easy to care for. If you provide your plant with a pole to climb, the leaves will grow larger the higher it gets!
Philodendron Micans also makes a perfect choice to grow in a hanging basket. They make a beautiful statement piece when allowed to cascade or flow out of the pot.
Philodendron Micans care:
Make sure your plant is in a well draining soil rich in organic matter. Allow it to dry out about halfway between watering. Provide it with bright indirect light.
