Mican | Philodendron Micans | Philodendron scandens ‘Micans’

The name Philodendron comes from the Greek word phileo, meaning “to love” and dendron meaning “tree”. What is not to love about the velvety green plant? As a climbing vine, Philodendron Micans will look great when placed on a hanging basket or train them to climb on a pole.

They are commonly known for their beautiful green and bronze velvety heart-shaped leaves. However the colour of the leaves depends on where you place them and their access to light. In areas that are semi-shade, the leaves will be velvety green, purple and even rust hue, with new leaves edged in pink. Too much sun can take the foliage on a deep green hue.
