Returns Simplified.Philodendron Lemon Micans is a rare and dazzling twist on the much-loved Philodendron hederaceum Micans, adored for its heart-shaped, velvety leaves. This special cultivar features the same soft, iridescent texture but with a luminous lemon-lime hue, creating a brilliant, glowing contrast to the darker tones of its classic relative. A member of the Araceae family and native to Central and South America, this tropical vine is both elegant and easy to care for a perfect plant for collectors and interior stylists alike.
Each leaf shimmers between chartreuse, gold, and olive-green depending on the light, giving the plant an almost illuminated quality. As it matures, the trailing vines grow gracefully, making it a stunning choice for hanging planters or climbing displays. Compact, soft, and vibrant, Philodendron Lemon Micans brings energy, warmth, and tropical charm to any setting.
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which enhances its velvety sheen and golden colour. It tolerates medium light but will grow slower and appear more green in shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves. East- or north-facing windows are ideal.
Keep the soil lightly moist during the growing season (spring and summer), watering when the top 23 cm feels dry. Reduce watering in winter but never allow the plant to dry out completely. Ensure good drainage Philodendron Lemon Micans dislikes standing water.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 1828 C. Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 15 C.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (6080%) enhances growth and keeps leaves lush. Mist occasionally, use a humidifier, or place near other tropical plants to maintain ambient moisture.
Use a light, airy, and well-draining aroid mix compost blended with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir provides ideal aeration. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh nutrients and give roots more space to grow.
Feed every 46 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Over-fertilising can cause leaf burn, so use sparingly. Stop feeding during autumn and winter.
Prune long vines to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Cuttings root easily in water or moist soil, allowing for easy propagation. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and accentuate their velvety texture. Rotate occasionally to ensure even light exposure.
A moderately fast-growing trailing or climbing vine, Philodendron Lemon Micans can reach 11.5 metres in length indoors. Supported on a moss pole, it will produce larger leaves over time. Its soft, glowing foliage adds both texture and light to plant displays.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Brown tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.
Leggy growth: Insufficient light.
Pests: Occasionally affected by thrips or spider mites treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
A cultivated form of the beloved Philodendron hederaceum, Lemon Micans combines the velvety charm of the original species with vivid, chartreuse tones that make it a true standout.
