Philodendron Mican
Philodendron Mican
Native to the tropical regions of Mexico and the Caribbean, the philodendron micans is a stunningphilodendron variety that is known for its velvety, heart-shaped leaves and trailing growth habit. It has become extremely popular as a houseplant and can be difficult to come across in some regions as a result; but if you are able to get your hands on one you won’t regret it. Philodendron micans look great in hanging planters or climbing moss poles or trellises, and similar to others, it is low-maintenance and easy to grow.
The philodendron micans enjoys bright to medium indirect light. Avoid prolonged periods of direct sunlight as it can burn the delicate leaves, causing discoloration and crispy edges.
The amount of light that your philodendron micans is exposed to will ultimately influence the color of the leaves. Increased light will cause the leaves to stay red/maroon, while lower light will result in leaves that are a deeper green color.
Water your philodendron micans once the top 2-3 inches of the soil have dried out. Another easy way to tell if your micans needs water is to check the leaves: once it is thirsty the leaves will start to droop and curl inwards slightly.

from 34 reviewsShe arrived well packaged along with my other two plants. She is full and healthy! So glad I purchased her!
Love my new fern! She made it to her new home safe and sound. The Rooted even messaged me about what day they were shipping out making sure it was a day the weather wasn’t so hot the plant would scorch. Definitely recommend!
This was a very fun workshop to attend! I learned a lot about different varieties of carnivorous plants, while getting to build my own beautiful carnivorous terrarium! The 2 plants I chose are thriving, and definitely helping with the gnat population in my house.
I am thrilled with my mystery box plants, fantastic experience as usual (I’m a repeat buyer and love getting plants I wouldn’t normally think of purchasing. Love! Thank you so much.
Very happy with the new addition to my collection. Plant is a good size and appears to be healthy. Would order from her again.
I learned a lot and Melanie is very knowledgeable. Easy to understand instructions and information about carnivorous plants. I am looking forward to being able to take good care of these plants. Can't wait for the terrarium workshop!

The 6” Melanochrysum I purchased through The Rooted Plant Shop has become the epitome of my entire plant collection. Without a doubt my best plant purchase to date, and I’ve purchased quite a few! You can’t go wrong, getting plants through this shop. They never disappoint!!
This plant came in perfect condition! Exactly as pictured, healthy and happy roots, and no pests. What more could you want? The owner of this shop is absolutely a peach aswell!
Every plant gets hand picked and hand delivered by Mel. My Fernwood is so adorable and pushing new growth.
The plant is exactly as expected. Always beautiful.
Love this little plant, and thankfully this one is in excellent health. I was surprised how many individual plant/strands that are in the small pot!
The plants are beautiful and there was no delay!
