What is the plant

Philodendron micans are the perfect philodendron for small spaces. Philo micans are widespread in Mexico, the Americans and the Caribbean. Micans has velvety, heart-shaped leaves that never grow beyond 3” in width.

Philodendron micans has iridescent, heart-shaped leaves that are velvety to the touch and almost quilted in texture. Depending on the light, the color of the foliage can look deep green or rich purple, with the new leaves emerging chartreuse, edged with pink. Vining in habit, Philodenron micans will cascade elegantly in a hanging planter, or can be trained to climb up a trellis.
