Philodendron hederaceum (Velvet Leaf Philodendron) Houseplant Care - 22 of 365
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- In the 22nd edition of "365 Days of Plants", we'll touch on a plant that is commonly sold as "Philodendron micans" but really is just a synonym for Philodendron hederaceum. It's commonly known as velvet leaf philodendron for its velvety leaves.
This is an easy plant to grow and maintain-and I have several throughout my house, including an original one that has been growing in my green wall for years (and has lost its velvety texture btw).
In this video I go over some basic care tips including where this plant grows natively, where I'm growing it in my home, propagation, watering, lighting and more.
You can check out more of these videos here and on my IGTV @homesteadbrooklyn.

I found one of these growing in the woods by my house a few months ago, so I took a cutting and propogated it into 4 cuttings. It's been doing extremely well recently, and sprouting out a ton of new leaves! The reddish color it gets in the shade is such a nice complement to the velvet~
Where do you live? I never see any plants in the wild! But I guess that's probably because it is hott here!
@@kaliphaneuf7249 I'm in southwest Florida!
I'm in TN. I literally have never seen houseplants growing in the wild although I stay inside a lot lol.
@@kaliphaneuf7249 apparently there’s a plant called “Swedish Ivy” that is basically an invasive weed here that we call “creeping Charlie.” I’m not sure if there’s a different cultivar that’s sold as a houseplant.
They're endemic to Eastern Mexico. It makes sense that it could survive wild in Florida. Someone must have had theirs outdoors and had a piece stolen by an animal. You just got lucky to find it wild. Hope it's going strong. I just got one yesterday.
I so appreciate you educating us on the plants botanical/scientific names 🌿💚🙏🍁
You are making me crazy and loosening my pocket
Ordered 15 hoyas
Bought Philo's
Pepromia ,now got to search this 😅😛😮
Go google philodendron verrucosum that will drop your pants if you like this one already 😂
I saw them at my local nursery and went crazy, bought 4 of them, they’re absolutely beautiful.
One of my absolute favorite species. I've had mine for two years and this plant goes on my most recovered list. When I moved to Florida I set it outside and it actually began to die from being scorched and not properly acclimated outside. It got as low as one stem and two leaves open. So I split it and it took almost a year, but it is on the mend.
I got a few cuttings from a friend. After now slightly more than 3 weeks they are finally starting to grow roots. I love the leaves so much and can't wait to plant them hopefully soon.
Woo hoo I just found this in an arrangement at Walmart and I had to get it. I love the velvety feel and shimmery bronze color. I was so excited to find it and am so happy to see this video about them. Thanks for sharing😊👍❤.
It's one of my favorite easy plants.
One of my favorites of all time. I found these in my nursery for $8 each, so I picked up like 6 of them. One of them is climbing up a moss pole beautifully!
It's so great how you share the taxonomy updates!
Good to know the up to date name 😁 it is such a stunning plant and I am proud to have one
Hi Summer! That is such a pretty plant. I'm wanting to increase my philodendron collection and will be looking for this one. Thank you for sharing!
Eventually I want this plant, have to make sure I have the right growing conditions. Loving this series, so much information and great tips. Thank you Summer.
They are actually low light. Mine scorches in too much sun.
@@LeeDfined Well thank you, now I just might have to get one, cause I know I have those conditions.
I would love to find this again. About 10 years ago, I was given a mixed plant basket, and it was in there. Love the velvety texture. Mine had more of a heart shaped leaf, and tended to drip water off the leaf pounts if overwatered. I very stupidly discarded it... and now, I keep an eye out for it again.
Congratz on the 100K subs!
I just got mine and it makes me happy.
I was worried at first about hederacium because it was putting out smaller leaves, but not long after it found its footing and has basically produced a wall of leaves in a few months time beautifully draping down. I bought 3 smaller plants and placed them all in a medium/ large sized pot. Summer is spot on with the heavier soil because they don’t seem to mind being good and wet for periods of time, and give ME time to neglect them for a week at a time at least.
I’ve had my eye on one of these for awhile now. I needs it!
Just bought this, and it is beautifull!!!!!
I have been searching for this everywhere on Internet, velvety money plants, money plant shaped plant which is dark green, n what not, finally I got it!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Mine was just delivered yesterday. Absolutely beautiful!
I just got mine. And your always the UA-camd to go to. Thanks
thanks for the video Summer, I cant wait to feel this plant at the nursery.
One of my favourite
I am growing it in water only. It is growing slowly.
I find it far more leggy than other varieties of Philodendron Hederaceum (Scandens/Brasil), but leggy in a good way, unlike scindapsus which look horrible when they get leggy, this just looks elegant and delicate
I did not know about this plant. Thank you for the video.
I wanted to actually know about it and thought to search in ua video library...and here it goes ...greaat video :)
Another lovely plant💚 I hope I can actually own one of these one day, but they don't seem to sell these in my area. Great video as always Summer,💖
One of my favorites for at least 20 years. However, they've disappeared from local garden centers/nurseries here in NH and MA. Most web sites say they're "out of stock" too. Anyone know of sources for them?
i got some at mahoney's in brighton mass. Along with lemon lime philodendron, regular heartleaf and brazil. I got them all!
They were so hard to find here in Germany but are slowly popping up in Dutch online shops. Still a rarity though 😅
P.S...Can the scientific community STOP updating the names. First Sansevieria are now Dracaenas. And I know this plant as Velvet Leaf Macin Philodendron.
micans actually never was a scientific name.
I mean... most ppl still use the old names for sanseveria. They made a genetic discovery!!! It's not a tragedy
I'm horrible at picking off the sun spots. Which leave holes in my leaves 😅😂
i would love to find out how to build a green wall.
This plant is so hardy. My house has very low light. But it is growing normally
does it need a lot of humidity?
@@curtholgate1097 No
⭐️Love your content. What can I do with my long micans I don’t really want to cut them. How would you propagate them in water? Thanks 💚🪴
Nice information. Thank u.
what are those holes on the leaves? the brown/crispy looking holes? some of my plants have those. i can never figure out why!
Burn marks or damage from direct sun exposure
For some time now, I've wondered why plant gurus always say to cut the amount of fertilizer in half of what the manufacturer recommends. I would assume that the manufacturer bases the recommended amount on some research of their own (like the MSU fertilizer). So, I'm confused about whether to follow the manufacturer or experienced plant people. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Much better to cut the amount of fertilizer instead of following the recommended doze. It is much better to prevent root rot from over fertilizer that will kill plants due to i think of some reasons. First not all plants are the same, next the condition of soil or fertilizer in the soil could be changed soil or not repotted soil when purchased and due to these, there could have been fertilizer in it or just been fertilized. In case of plants under our care of year/s, much better to change with rich soil/medium with then again when fertilize should be lesser ones otherwise will burn the roots. Also the salt build up from nutrients from fertilizer in the soil would hurt the plant
@@eckehareckbert2731 I flush my plants regularly because I water them at the sink until water flows through the bottom, so no salt build up.
Mine has a few white spots on them. Do you think its due to underwatering? I was concerned with the legginess of mine and thought it was due to not getting enough light. I have it hanging from my wall near a window but I think its still a gray area. What are your thoughts?
I’ve been loving these!! Could you please do the spider plant I’ve been wanting to learn more about it’
My hederaceum also has those little holes and i know others who have them too, is this just what happens to the leaves as they get older or or there something that causes this?
Zenobia I would like to know as well. I thought that in my case that maybe it was from when it was transported to the nursery as the leaves are very fragile, but some of my plant’s newer leaves are starting to develop those tiny holes. Can’t find any info on them.
Mine too!
I have gold spots on my micans like u do on yours. Looks like a little scratch. I took them
Out of soil and put them in water…could that be why? Is that normal
For the leaves to have those gold scratches ?
the leaves on my hederaceum are releasing tiny oozy (sticky) droplets all over.. I don't see any pests or anything on the plant, and I can't find any information on this anywhere! If anyone has any pointers/advice let me know.
Hi! I don't know about pests that could cause that. If it's water and it's just droplets at the ends of the leaves it's getting rid of the water excess like other houseplants by "sweating". If they're kind of dense and (for what I've read) at the back of the leaves, it's a sort of nectar that they release in order to attract potential pollinators, you can just wipe them gently, I hope this helps. :)
Edit: I just read you typed "sticky" so most probably the second. I'll post here the Instagram post I read this on if I can find it.
These were very popular house plants when I was younger (80’s), they weren’t rare at allllll, it confuses me on why they are now
Supply n demand lol
The leaves on my hanging basket had started to curl. What is the reason for this.
Water it, mine did the same, my philodendron micans, if it’s been watered and still curled maybe look into root rot.
Why do we all think if she does a Care video about a certain plant we want that it will save are plant at home lol
Here in india , I just bought it today for like 1 dollar
How lucky 🍀
Mican has abit of red hue to the velvet. Idk. I cant find them in malaysia. Would love to have one tho.
i cannot grow these, they always die on me every time, i finally gave up on them,
🌱💜
I just bought two of these and I can see these are not the popular. What I love about this plant is it subtle beauty
Is this the same as the philodenron gloriosum?
No
Hi Summer.
I had question about peace lily in few days ago and I though you might can't check on comment by video Ep 118. Houseplant 101: Houseplant Home Makeover! back by now. Sorry for asking in here again :-)
Well, I was bought peace lily a week ago and I put it on bookcase where close to east facing glass window but in behind sheer curtain. Now it still dry season which is hot in room. I worry about my peace lily which is getting not well now.
It that too much light for peace lily? and it that too hot? What should I do?
Thank you for advice :-) And sorry for asking wrong plant in topic here :-(
How much humidity do micana need?
Nice 😘
What are the best pots for these
How make soil mix
How often should I spray neem oil on micans coz I hv scanned few pests on it.
Please suggest
I spray neem oil pretty frequently on my plants that are likely to get pest. So just spray it and monitor it.
@@msladypmodel Thanks
Is your one multi-planted?
i like how you can't petting it aha, thanks for the vid.
I have a "heartleaf philodendron", google tells me it's the same plant but it's not, can anyone clarify this?
My latin is rusty..
Alex there's the normal green leaf heartleaf philodendron, the lemon lime variety which is bright green, the brasil which is dark with a green stripe and this one from the video
This one is micans
As I understand it the velvety form is not a cultivar, but just a different wild form of the hederaceum. But in that case I do find it a bit strange that there isn't a specific name for this form.
You’ll find it under philodendron micans
@@mom8597 Yes, I know. But it seems that micans is not an accepted name.
Why my PHILODENDRON HEDERACEUM leaves are turning pink
Not sure but if they are in direct sun, they may be getting burned?
I had mine in the window and the leaves started turning more Amber and initially, thought it was supposed to. But they were actually burning. Moved it back from the window about 2 feet and its much happier.
Is that rare?
Bald on top....like me lol!! How sad ;) wish more light would make my hair grow back hehe.
I can’t believe how fast mine has grown! It’s become my favorite.
How fast do they grow?
Thank you Summer Rayne for the amazing videos and for spreading your knowledge to all of us. I love your videos, but you repeat the word "actually" a lot, and that sometimes steals my attention from the content. Keep up the good work and greetings from Finland :)
Most finicky plant I have ever dealt with. My goodness!
This plant is so hardy I managed to kill it. fml.
