Philodendron Micans, Small
Nerd Name: Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum
Common Name(s): Velvet Philodendron, Philodendron Micans, Velvet Heart-Leaf
Philodendron Micans is unlike all it's other heart-leaf relatives. You know you want to touch the deep, velvety burgundy-green leaves this beautiful Philodendron species develops. You totally can, and you should. They like it. The textured foliage is also iridescent and will display a unique sheen under direct light. Too much direct light will burn the leaves, though, making these perfect for more shaded areas inside your home.
