Philodendron | Micans

A truly beautiful plant, the Philodendron Micans features velvety deep-green leaves, which shimmer between deep purple and rusty orange in the light. No wonder it's name, 'Micans', translates to "glittering, twinkling, flashing" — pretty magical indeed! Fun Fact: In the wild, the adult leaves of the Philodendron Scandans can measure 4 to 16 inches in length. Without venturing to the rain forests of Central and South America, it's a leaf size few of us "house plant" parents will ever see. A fully grown specimen from the forest will also lose that signature velvet texture, making it an even greater departure from the small version we know as a houseplant. Geography: Central America 🪴 Each plant is unique: depending on the season the size and shape may vary.
