Philodendron micans

Philodendron micans has soft, colour-shifting leaves on slim trailing or climbing stems. New growth can show bronze, copper or reddish tones before settling into deep green with a velvety surface, while the undersides often keep a warmer tint.

The leaves are thin, softly textured and easily marked by strong direct sun or repeated handling. Stems lengthen from visible nodes, so the plant can be kept as a soft hanging vine or encouraged upward on a fine support.

Velvet leaves with bronze and green shifts

  • Velvety heart-shaped leaves with bronze, green and reddish colour shifts.
  • Soft stems lengthen steadily and can be pruned back above visible nodes.
  • Juvenile leaves often show the strongest warm tones and surface texture.
  • Leaf undersides can hold reddish to coppery tones as the top surface deepens green.
  • The velvet surface catches light in shifting bronze, green and copper tones.

Trailing stems and velvet heartleaf growth

Philodendron micans belongs to Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum. Its velvet leaf surface, warm new growth and reddish leaf undersides give it a soft, colour-shifting heartleaf look.

Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum is a climber of wet tropical forest. In a pot, Philodendron micans develops node-forming stems, aerial-root nubs and roots that need an open, chunky substrate. Velvet leaves can show sun or handling marks quickly, especially in strong direct sun or after repeated rubbing.

Care for the velvet heartleaf vine

  • Light: Use bright indirect light; strong direct sun can dull or scorch the velvet surface.
  • Substrate: A fine but airy aroid mix works well, with bark, perlite or pumice to protect the roots from compaction.
  • Watering: Water when the top part of the mix has dried, then allow the pot to drain fully.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm, preferably 18–27 °C, and away from cold shelves or draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity can help new velvet leaves open with fewer curled edges.
  • Handling: Avoid rubbing the leaf surface, as velvet leaves can show marks from repeated touching.
  • Pruning: Trim long stems above a node to thicken the pot or root cuttings for a fuller basket.

Velvet marks, curled leaves and hidden pests

  • Curled new leaves: Check watering consistency, humidity and pests around the newest growth.
  • Dull or bleached patches: Move the plant away from direct sun and avoid pressing leaves against glass.
  • Small leaves on long vines: Add support, prune back or move to brighter indirect light.
  • Yellowing near the base: Check whether the potting mix is staying wet around the lower roots.
  • Fine speckling or distorted tips: Inspect velvet leaves closely for mites or thrips, which can be harder to see on textured surfaces.

Safety

Philodendron micans should be kept away from pets that chew plants. Like other heartleaf Philodendrons, it contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth if eaten.

Velvet name and botanical placement

Philodendron micans was published as Philodendron micans Klotzsch ex K.Koch and is now included in Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum. Micans comes from Latin and means glittering or shining, matching the way the velvety surface reflects light at different angles. Philodendron points to tree-climbing growth, which also fits the plant’s node-forming stems and aerial-root nubs.

Choose Philodendron micans for velvety heart leaves, bronze new growth and a soft trailing habit with rich darker tones as the foliage matures.

Good first book in a series.
Format: Paperback
I had read all of the Lord Edgington mysteries and decided to try this series since I believe the author does a very good job. Definitely a different vibe than the other series, but great all the same. I THOUGHT that I had for once solved the mystery before the end but I was only partially right. Definitely recommend; I will be purchasing all the other books in this series.

Great start to a new series
Format: Kindle
Well, here we go with a new series from one of my favorites, Benedict Brown! I was excited when I learned that we had a new series to read from this author, again based in the 1920s. I love his writing style and his attention to detail of this era in all his stories. And this one was no exception. We meet Marius Quin, whom we've met before, but in his own setting this time. A writer who is struggling to write his next book. When he runs into an old friend and is invited to a New Year's Eve party, he decides maybe that's just what he needs to get his creative juices going. What he doesn't know is that chaos is about to be unleashed! Marius and his friend Bella now have to work together to piece things together to figure out who did it and why. Will they figure it out in time before the guests all leave? What an excellent story from start to finish. I'm really looking forward to more in this series. Highly recommend!

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .

Excellent mineral sunscreen with minimal white cast.
Style: SPF 50
This is one of the healthier sunscreens I’ve found so far. You’re not likely going to find a mineral sunscreen that doesn’t leave some white cast. However, this one rubs in pretty good with minimal cast. You can dab on and rub in fairly easily… as long as you don’t use too much the white cast should be minimal. I am not sure how well this would work on darker skin tones. My arms are a medium skin tone… my legs are more of a light-medium tone. I prefer mineral sunscreens, and this is the best one I found so far and compatible to Supergoop mineral play. If you liked that one, you would likely enjoy this Coola one too.
