Philodendron Micans

The reason philodendrons make such amazing indoor plants is that they adapt to a wide variety of lighting and water conditions in the wild and so will thrive indoors very well. The plants have large . green . dark leaves which allow them to absorb even the tiniest traces of light and water in the wild or at home. 

Philodendron micans has iridescent . heart-shaped leaves that are velvety to the touch and almost quilted in texture. Depending on the light . the colour of the foliage can look deep green or rich purple . with the new leaves emerging edged with pink.

Vining in growth habit . Philodendron micans will cascade elegantly in a hanging planter or can be trained to climb up a moss pole.

If you love interesting foliage . this easy to care for plant is a perfect addition to your collection. A rainforest regular hailing originally from South America and it really brings a touch of the exotic! Brighten up dreary days by looking at your Philodendron and imagining hot . moist heat and birds screeching . let yourself be carried away to the jungle!
