Philodendron Micans have 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.

Philodendrons are extremely easy to grow - no green thumb required! Tolerant of a wide range of light conditions, this plant is a prolific grower, producing long cascading vines that can easily reach the floor. Philodendrons like low-medium light to bright indirect light. Water when the top 1-2" of soil feels dry.

LIGHT:
Like a lot of other philodendrons, velvet leaf philodendron plants enjoy bright indirect light; too much direct light can burn the leaves. They can tolerate slightly lower levels of light as houseplants, but the leaves will be smaller.

WATER:
Avoid overwatering your velvet leaf philodendron and you’ll be fine. That means watering it again when the top inch or so of soil dries out. Be careful to not let the soil dry out too much—a sure sign of this is when the soil begins to contract and pull inwards away from the edges of the planter.

SOIL AND FERTILIZER:
Any well-draining indoor potting soil is a safe bet. Any regular houseplant fertilizer will work. Keep in mind that you might not need additional fertilizer if your soil is fresh and has fertilizer additives in it.

PHILODENDRON CARE:
Philodendron plants are easy to grow and are most suitable for the warm, non-freezing climates of USDA plant hardiness zones 9b-11. They are most often grown as indoor plants. Philodendron should be planted in a container filled with quality, well-drained potting mix. The container must have at least one drainage hole in the bottom. Place in a warm room where temperatures are between 50 and 95 F. (10-55 C.).

This plant is tolerant to most light levels but is happiest in moderate or filtered light. Semi shady areas are fine, but intense sunlight may scorch the leaves.
Water the plant deeply, then allow the top of the soil to become slightly dry before watering again. Never allow the pot to sit in water.
Feed every other week using a general-purpose, water-soluble fertilizer mixed to half strength. Repot the philodendron whenever the plant looks crowded in its pot.

**It should be noted that all parts of the plant are toxic and will cause irritation and burning of the mouth if eaten. Ingesting the plant may also cause difficulty swallowing, drooling, and vomiting.

🌱TIPS: If the leaves begin curling under, this may be a sign of under watering.
