☀️ Light Requirements: Prefers moderate to bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun exposure, which can burn the delicate leaves.
💧Watering: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Philodendron Micans likes consistent moisture but is sensitive to over-watering. Be sure to use a pot with good drainage.
🌧️ Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments. Consider misting regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a pebble tray to increase humidity.
🌡️ Temperature: Ideal temperature range is between 18°C and 27°C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 13°C and drafts.
💊 Feeding: Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
✂️ Pruning and Support: Trim back any long vines to encourage fuller growth and maintain the plant’s shape. This also helps to manage its size in smaller spaces. As a climbing plant, it can be trained on a moss pole or allowed to trail from a hanging planter or shelf.
🪲 Pest Control: Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
🪴 Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the best time for repotting.
