philodendron micans

Micans is a type of philodendron, which is a large genus of plants in the Araceae family. There are tons of different types of philodendron, and they can look very different.

Philodendron micans looks a lot like the typical heart-leaf philodendron you might be used to seeing in local nurseries. What sets the philodendron micans apart from the traditional heart-leaf philodendron, though, is its beautiful velvet finish.

In fact, the common name for the philodendron micans is the velvet leaf philodendron. The leaves have a greenish-purplish finish with a bit of a shimmer (though not as much of a shimmer as the scindapsus pictus silver satin pothos has!).
