Philodendron hederaceum ‘Micans’, often called the Velvet Leaf Philodendron, is one of the most elegant and beloved tropical trailing plants, prized for its soft, iridescent foliage and forgiving nature. A member of the Araceae family and native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, this variety is a refined form of the classic Heartleaf Philodendron, featuring luxurious, velvety leaves that shimmer in shades of green, bronze, and deep burgundy.

The heart-shaped leaves have a delicate, suede-like texture that catches the light beautifully, giving the plant an almost luminous quality. As it grows, Philodendron Micans produces long, cascading vines, making it perfect for hanging planters, high shelves, or climbing up moss poles. Its rich, jewel-toned foliage and easy-care temperament make it a true statement piece in any indoor collection.


Philodendron hederaceum ‘Micans’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its velvety texture and deep colouring. It will tolerate medium light but may lose some of its bronze tones. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves.

Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing excess water to drain freely. Reduce watering slightly in winter. Philodendron Micans is tolerant of occasional dryness but should never sit in soggy soil.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (50–70%) is ideal. Mist occasionally or use a humidifier to maintain leaf softness and prevent crisping.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, free-draining aroid mix – peat-free compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the mix and give roots room to grow.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Stop feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim long vines to encourage bushier growth and remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Pruned cuttings root easily in water or soil, making propagation simple. Wipe leaves gently to remove dust and maintain their velvety appearance.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing, trailing or climbing vine that can reach 1–2 metres indoors. The more support and humidity it receives, the larger and lusher the foliage becomes.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Faded colour: Insufficient light.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally spider mites or thrips.

Background and Benefits

The Philodendron Micans is a naturally occurring variety of Philodendron hederaceum, prized for its soft, velvet-textured leaves and easy adaptability. Its romantic appearance and forgiving care requirements make it a favourite among collectors and beginners alike. Like all Philodendrons, it helps purify the air, filtering toxins and improving indoor air quality while adding a luxurious touch of tropical greenery.

    Very good product. TRY IT!
    I LOVE this body oil. I’d been using Elemis Muscleease, which I still prefer, but I was paying $40-$45 dollars a bottle from EBay. Sadly, the makers of Elemis changed the formula & I was having to use more of it to get the same results. Plus, the WONDERFUL scent, that I always found so relaxing but not overpowering, was different. When I saw a review for this cocoa butter body oil, I decided to try it. I’m so glad I did. It works well for my extremely dry skin, has a very nice scent, soaks in quickly, & costs less than half from what I was paying for Elemis. Plus, it contains 6.5 ounces instead of 3.3 of Elemis, though I do use a bit more of it. I’m very glad I found it. In truth, I still would prefer the Elemis, the old formula, but this works quite well & saves me money. As a retired woman living on much less income, the price is a big consideration for me. And, the formula change by Elemis, made it less effective. I would absolutely recommend trying this product if you have issues with dry skin. I recommend using it as soon as you get out of the shower to trap the water on your skin for best results.

    Very moisturizing with a great vanilla scent
    I love this body oil. Very hydrating and smells amazing. It has replaced the original Palmer’s cocoa butter, body oil for me just because I like the smell better. It leaves my skin looking glowy and feels so smooth. I smell like vanilla all day. I like the pump top. It is easier to apply. Very silky consistency

    Light, Hydrating, and Non-Greasy — Perfect Everyday Body Oil
    I purchased this body oil a little over a week ago, and overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about the product itself. The only complaint I have is with the packaging. When my order arrived, some of the oil had leaked in the box. The bottle doesn’t come with a separate cap—just a twist/lock feature that can easily come loose. Because of that, it must have unlocked during transit, causing a small amount of product loss. Luckily, it wasn’t bad enough for me to feel the need to return it. As for the oil itself—it’s lovely. The scent is light and pleasant, nothing overpowering. While I don’t pick up a strong vanilla note once it’s on my skin, it has a smooth texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. It’s very hydrating, and the bottle size feels generous for the price. If you’re looking for something heavily fragranced, this might not be the one for you, but it’s perfect as a layering oil or for anyone who wants a subtle, nourishing glow. Highly recommend!

    JUST BUY IT!!! Finally found what I was looking for
    This is the first time I have ever written a review - THATS how good this product is!! It smells like vanilla bean ice cream, it is so deliciously sweet and fragrant. I have been searching for something that leaves a strong yet natural scent on the skin and this is it. It makes me feel like a sweet and soft ethereal fairy princess and is so so so moisturizing on the skin. My bf loves it and has pointed out multiple times how soft my skin is just from a few uses I use it right out of the shower while my skin is still a bit wet. It is lightweight enough where it dries quickly enough for me to put my pajamas on without greasy-ness. I'm at work the morning after and can still lightly smell it on myself If you're looking for a sign - this is it - JUST BUY IT!!! :)

    Best body oil!!
    I love the smell!!! It’s vanilla but smells like summer in a bottle to me. It does soak in pretty fast in the skin and makes me look glowing but not in a greasy way. I will definitely be repurchasing it.
