• Naturally trailing—perfect for hanging planters and high shelves
• Easygoing and rewarding for both new and experienced plant parents

Care Needs
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It tolerates medium light, but colors may deepen or fade depending on conditions. Avoid harsh direct sun.
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Micans prefers lightly moist soil but handles the occasional dry spell well.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity, but grows happily in typical household levels.
• Temperature: Ideal between 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
• Growth Habit: A vigorous trailer or climber—prune to encourage fullness or train upward for larger leaves.
Pet Safety
The Philodendron micans is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, due to calcium oxalates. Keep out of reach of curious nibblers.
A lush, velvety vine that brings rich color, softness, and stunning movement to any indoor jungle.
