Philodendron scandens micans ‘Lime’
 
This is micans after a glow-up.
 
Philodendron scandens micans ‘Lime’ keeps the soft, velvety texture that made micans a classic, but swaps the usual dark drama for something brighter and more electric. Lime-green leaves with a subtle sheen catch the light beautifully, shifting tone as they trail and move. It feels fresh, lively, and quietly addictive.
 
The texture is still the star. That soft, almost suede finish gives the plant depth, even in brighter colouring. As it trails, the contrast between older, slightly deeper leaves and new lime growth adds layers rather than chaos. It looks effortless, but never boring.
 
Care is as forgiving as you would hope. Bright, indirect light keeps the colour clean and vibrant. It will tolerate lower light, but the lime tones really shine when it has enough brightness. Let the top of the soil dry between waterings, keep it warm, and it will grow steadily without drama.
 
Why it’s special
Lime micans offers something genuinely different without being difficult. It has the ease of a classic scandens with a colour shift that feels intentional rather than gimmicky. A great way to add brightness without going full variegation.
 
Good to know
This is an indoor trailing houseplant with steady growth and excellent adaptability. Easy to prune, easy to propagate, and very forgiving if conditions are not perfect. Ideal for shelves, hanging pots, or letting it spill naturally.
 
If you love micans but want something lighter, fresher, and a little unexpected, Philodendron scandens micans ‘Lime’ fits beautifully.
 
Soft. Luminous. Effortlessly good looking.
