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.

Great Value and Very Durable Plates
Color: Brown, Size: 10 in - 75 count
These plates are a great value for the price considering the quantity and the quality you get. Getting 75 plates at this price point is already a win, but the durability makes them even better. They’re biodegradable, which is a nice bonus, and they’re definitely not flimsy. These plates are stiff and sturdy — I can load them up with a pretty heavy plate of food and they still hold up without bending. They also do really well in the microwave, which makes them even more convenient for everyday use or parties. Overall, a really solid disposable plate option that’s durable, eco-friendly, and a great value.

A bit iffy on these plates
Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count, Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count
These plates are ok, but certainly not the best I've found. On the positive side, they are what I'd consider "Lunch Size" an are somewhat sturdy. They'll hold a sandwich and chips with little effort so, as a plate, they do... plate. Where I am a bit hesitant is in their molding an construction. You can see in my photos that there is significant staining/watermarking on the plates from the manufacturing process. This could be simply from the way the wet pulp was extruded and formed, but it honestly gives me a bit of the ick. Not that it's particularly gross, but it does make me wonder how sanitary the plates are or what binders might be leeching into my food. In my last photo, you can see a comparison to a compostable plate that I really like. The finish is cleaner and the mold included an inner ridge which gives the plate more stability - making it less likely to flex under weight. Both are sugar cane fiber plates and my preferred plate is a few dollars more expensive for a comparable pack, but the clean appearance and extra rigidity make it worth the added spend in my opinion. Ranking these 3-stars might lead some to think they're bad - and to be clear, I don't think they are. They're just adequate. If you're looking to save a few bucks on a compostable plate, these WILL get the job done. I would just shy away from using them with wet or acidic foods since they don't boast the highest quality of manufacture.

Strong Eco Friendly Plates But Not Great For Hot Food
Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count
I picked these up because I wanted something more environmentally friendly than the usual plastic or paper stuff. They are made from bamboo and bagasse, and you get a good amount in the pack for the price. For dry stuff like snacks or sandwiches, they are super sturdy and do not bend at all when you pick them up. However, they do not hold up very well when you put hot or wet food on them. Even though they are supposed to be heavy duty, I noticed they can get a little soft if the food is really steaming. They are still perfect for a quick lunch or a party where you want an easy cleanup, but you might want to double them up if you are serving something heavy and hot. The plates are big, and you get quite a bit, making it a really good value overall.

Heavy duty paper plates
Color: Brown, Size: 10 in - 75 count
These disposable plates are amazing. They're large enough to hold an entire Thanksgiving meal. They're sturdy and strong, and won't buckle even when supporting quite a lot of weight. They don't get soggy even when I deliberately poured water in them. The sides are built up to keep food from falling off the plate. These are everything you'd need in a disposable plate, and they're biodegradable, too! These are ideal for barbeques or outdoor entertaining, or even for everyday use in the kitchen.

Compostable Paper Plates
Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count
I ordered these because I like using paper plates and wanted to see if the compostable ones were strong enough for regular use. They're sturdier than regular paper plates due to the increased thickness of these. I've put heavy food on them like ribs and sides and they haven't bent under the weight. They feel more like pressed cardboard than paper and hold up through a full meal without getting soft. The brown color is a little utilitarian looking but that doesn't really matter for what they are. I guess I wouldn't use them for a party or something fun like that. They stack neatly and take up about the same space as regular paper plates.
