Philodendron micans

Philodendron micans has soft, colour-shifting leaves on slim trailing or climbing stems. New growth can show bronze, copper or reddish tones before settling into deep green with a velvety surface, while the undersides often keep a warmer tint.

The leaves are thin, softly textured and easily marked by strong direct sun or repeated handling. Stems lengthen from visible nodes, so the plant can be kept as a soft hanging vine or encouraged upward on a fine support.

Velvet leaves with bronze and green shifts

  • Velvety heart-shaped leaves with bronze, green and reddish colour shifts.
  • Soft stems lengthen steadily and can be pruned back above visible nodes.
  • Juvenile leaves often show the strongest warm tones and surface texture.
  • Leaf undersides can hold reddish to coppery tones as the top surface deepens green.
  • The velvet surface catches light in shifting bronze, green and copper tones.

Trailing stems and velvet heartleaf growth

Philodendron micans belongs to Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum. Its velvet leaf surface, warm new growth and reddish leaf undersides give it a soft, colour-shifting heartleaf look.

Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum is a climber of wet tropical forest. In a pot, Philodendron micans develops node-forming stems, aerial-root nubs and roots that need an open, chunky substrate. Velvet leaves can show sun or handling marks quickly, especially in strong direct sun or after repeated rubbing.

Care for the velvet heartleaf vine

  • Light: Use bright indirect light; strong direct sun can dull or scorch the velvet surface.
  • Substrate: A fine but airy aroid mix works well, with bark, perlite or pumice to protect the roots from compaction.
  • Watering: Water when the top part of the mix has dried, then allow the pot to drain fully.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, preferably 18–27 °C, and away from cold shelves or draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity can help new velvet leaves open with fewer curled edges.
  • Handling: Avoid rubbing the leaf surface, as velvet leaves can show marks from repeated touching.
  • Pruning: Trim long stems above a node to thicken the pot or root cuttings for a fuller basket.

Velvet marks, curled leaves and hidden pests

  • Curled new leaves: Check watering consistency, humidity and pests around the newest growth.
  • Dull or bleached patches: Move the plant away from direct sun and avoid pressing leaves against glass.
  • Small leaves on long vines: Add support, prune back or move to brighter indirect light.
  • Yellowing near the base: Check whether the potting mix is staying wet around the lower roots.
  • Fine speckling or distorted tips: Inspect velvet leaves closely for mites or thrips, which can be harder to see on textured surfaces.

Safety

Philodendron micans should be kept away from pets that chew plants. Like other heartleaf Philodendrons, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth if eaten.

Velvet name and botanical placement

Philodendron micans was published as Philodendron micans Klotzsch ex K.Koch and is now included in Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum. Micans comes from Latin and means glittering or shining, matching the way the velvety surface reflects light at different angles. Philodendron points to tree-climbing growth, which also fits the plant’s node-forming stems and aerial-root nubs.

Choose Philodendron micans for velvety heart leaves, bronze new growth and a soft trailing habit with rich darker tones as the foliage matures.

Not Quite Up to Simpsons Comics Standards, but Still Fun
Format: Paperback
Despite the cover, there is no western-related comic in this book (probably a good thing). This comic book is funny (it includes a comic book convention survival guide and a look at Lisa's dream house), but Matt Groening and company really raised the bar with some of their other comic books-hence the four star grade. "Krustonia"-Krusty starts his own utopian nation to avoid paying income taxes. Sounds like something he'd do. "Flanders' Big Score"-Fun-diddly-fun comic where amateur detective Ned Flanders investigates the case of the missing church fund-raiser money. "Let's Get Ready to Bumble"-Homer becomes a professional wrestler. Not as good as the other comics in this book. "Bringing Down Baby"-Short starring Maggie which also includes the infamous baby with the one eyebrow. Only mildly amusing. "Smitherses!"-The nuclear power plant employees are on strike for a 5 cent per year raise. True to form, Mr. Burns decides that the best solution is to clone a staff of devoted sycophants (i.e. Smitherses). When the Smitherses begin to compete for Mr. Burns' attention-Watch out! This is a funny, imaginative comic. "Bore Us the Movie Gruel"-Bart and company watch a 1950s film starring Troy McClure (how old is this guy?) and a mule. The usual sarcastic comments are offered. "Radioactive Homer"-A complicated comic. The gist of it is that Homer believes he is Radioactive Man and joins forces with Leon (insane asylum inmate "Michael Jackson" in the TV episode "Stark Raving Dad") to take down Mr. Burns' "Project Q" (mentioned in Simpsons Comics #1 in the Extravaganza book). Has a very funny ending.

Krustonia
Format: Paperback
This was an okay book, with nothing exceptional. Starting the book off with "Krustonia" was a big mistake, as it's easily the worst Simpsons comic ever. Once you start reading it, it gets boring, so take my advice, read everything else first, then come back to this one, since I lost enthusiasm after struggling to complete Krustonia for several days. That said, Homer's wresting days are really funny, the Smithers clones are strange, but somehow very entertaining. (Mr. Burns better watch out :) and Homer as Radioactive Man was great, especially to see Leon "Michael Jackson" Komposki back. I also liked the mini-Ned Flanders mystery, and the guide to comic book conventions. If it weren't for Krustonia, this book would be the perfect buy.
