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 nice pillowcases

    These pillowcases are really nice. They're soft and wash well. I really like the pocket on the end. It makes your pillows look nice and neat. The price is good too.

    Love the sheets but GOSH THEY STINK
    Color: 19 - Forest Green, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
    I have the dark green sheets and bought these for extra cases to match. I would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing. Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️

    Comfy soft pillow covers
    Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
    Absolutely love these pillow cases! I bought 2 sets. After I received them & washed & dried them they did remain wrinkly. I just went ahead and put them on my pillows & the wrinkles went away. I continue to love the feel, coolness & comfort. Will definitely buy more.

    Pillow cases are beautiful and soft, great quality. I had to return them because standard were too small. I am going to order queen instead.

    These Bamboo Pillowcases Made Me Realize I Sleep Hot
    Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 07 - Cream, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
    I bought these mostly because I kept hearing people talk about bamboo pillowcases and honestly thought it sounded a little overhyped, but I totally get it now. The first thing I noticed was how cool they felt compared to regular cotton. I tend to get warm when I sleep and flip my pillow a million times during the night looking for the cold side, and these actually stay noticeably cooler longer. They also feel really soft without having that weird slippery texture some silky pillowcases have. My skin has been less irritated lately and my hair definitely looks less frizzy in the mornings. I have thick hair that tangles easily overnight, and these have helped more than I expected. Another thing I appreciate is that they’ve washed well so far. I was worried they’d pill or lose softness after a wash cycle, but they still feel smooth and nice. They also just make the bed feel cleaner and more comfortable overall. One of those small upgrades that ends up making a bigger difference than you’d think.
