How to Grow Philodendron Micans:

1. Light: Philodendron Micans thrives in bright, indirect light. It can adapt to lower light conditions, but its colors will be more vibrant in brighter settings. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can fade the leaf colors and cause scorching.

2. Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. This plant prefers slightly moist soil but is tolerant of occasional drying out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, and reduce watering frequency during the winter months when growth slows.

3. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A blend of standard houseplant soil with added perlite or orchid bark will provide the right balance of moisture retention and aeration.

4. Humidity: Philodendron Micans enjoys high humidity but will also thrive in average household conditions. If the air is particularly dry, mist the plant occasionally or place it near a humidifier to maintain its lush, velvety leaves.

5. Temperature: This plant prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C - 27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 60°F (15°C) to prevent stress on the plant.

6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Fertilize less frequently during the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

7. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Spring is the best time to repot, allowing the plant to establish itself during the growing season.

2/5 – The Philodendron Micans is easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for plant lovers of all experience levels. With minimal attention, this resilient plant will reward you with lush, cascading growth and beautiful foliage
