Philodendron scandens micans ‘Marble Variegata’ – Velvet Leaves, Marbled Dreams
Philodendron micans is already a heartthrob — but the ‘Marble Variegata’ form takes it to a whole new galaxy.Picture soft, velvety heart-shaped leaves streaked with unpredictable splashes of cream, mint, lime, and pale yellow — all laid over that signature iridescent green base.
It trails, it climbs, it glows in the right light — and every single leaf is a one-of-one. The texture is lush and velvet-like, while the marbled variegation looks hand-painted, often changing from leaf to leaf as it grows.
Why This Plant Is a Must-Have:
Ultra-rare variegation – Cream, lime, and mint marbling on velvet
Soft, iridescent leaves – Touch it once and you’re hooked
Perfect for trailing or climbing – Versatile and easy to style
Compact and fast-growing – Low effort, high drama
Great for collectors and plant shelf stunners alike
Give it bright, indirect light to enhance the variegation, and a loose, airy mix to keep those roots happy. Water when the top inch is dry, and watch it trail or climb with elegance and flair.
Extremely limited stock – Philodendron micans ‘Marble Variegata’ is velvet, variegated, and very hard to find. Don’t miss your shot at this trailing treasure.
