Philodendron scandens ‘Micans’ is a velvety twist on the classic heartleaf philodendron. Its soft, shimmering leaves shift between deep green, bronze and burgundy depending on the light, giving it a rich, almost iridescent glow. The trailing vines look lush and romantic, making this plant a perfect choice for shelves, hanging baskets, or cascading down from a tall planter.
Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, this variety grows quickly and easily, just like its green cousin, but the velvet texture and changing colours make it feel far more exotic. Every new leaf unfurls with a coppery sheen that slowly matures into its signature dark velvet finish.
‘Micans’ is low-maintenance and adaptable, thriving in medium to bright indirect light but also tolerating lower light conditions. Keep the soil lightly moist with good drainage, and it will reward you with long, trailing vines that can be trimmed and propagated with ease.
If you’re after a plant that combines easy care with a touch of luxury, Philodendron scandens ‘Micans’ is hard to beat — velvety, vibrant, and effortlessly beautiful.
