Philodendron Scandens Micans – The Velvet Trailer You’ll Want Hanging Around

 

The Philodendron Scandens Micans is a must have for any indoor jungle. With its velvety, heart shaped leaves that shimmer between deep green and bronze, it brings a rich, moody elegance to any room. Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, this is a fast growing, trailing plant that loves to climb or cascade, depending on how you style it.

 

Whether it’s flowing down from a shelf, draped from a hanging pot, or climbing a moss pole, the Philodendron Scandens Micans adds effortless texture and depth. Its soft, tactile foliage catches the light beautifully and stays lush without demanding too much of you.

 

It arrives in a 12cm clear nursery pot, so you can easily monitor root health and moisture. We’ve potted it in our custom ROOTS Sexy Soil – Houseplant Mix, blended for optimal drainage, structure, and a gentle nutrient boost from natural worm castings (aka worm poo — yes, really).

 

Care level: Easy – perfect for beginners.
