Currently one of my longest living plants from when I first got started in the hobby. I actually did get mine in a Wal Mart of all places. P.S: Your channel is growing to be MASSIVE. I can't say I was here from the beginning beginning- but I have watched you grow.
You were one of my early subscribers. Thanks so much for your continued support. I believe I've seen your Micans in a few of your videos. If I recall correctly, it's quite long. Mine is nowhere near yours. LOL. I can't believe you found it at a WalMart! Thanks for watching. I appreciate you!
My first ever wishlist plant! I finally found an old, tired straggly one in need of rehab and have since chopped and proped and am enjoying 4 new growth points in only a few weeks. 🌱 Yours is so full and lovely. Great video 👏👏
Thank u peggy for this valuable information, greetings from Barbados. The first time I laid my eyes on this plant was two days ago and fell in love with it immediately, I bought it for $2.50 US.
Thank you. I am a new plant parent (only have a few aroids, but they are alive) and once I saw these I knew they were my vibe! Kind of different and mysterious looking. I have one coming in and plan on hanging it and letting it trail near a south facing window that gets tons of light with a sheer curtain. Hope she likes it!
I lusted after a Mican that I saw in an office a few years ago. I finally got a plant of my own and it is struggling. I will take your growing tips from this video and see it I can get it to thrive💚
Sorry to hear that. You may need to adjust your soil mix or check for pests. I find those to be the main issues other than over watering. I hope you are able to turn things around with your Micans. Best of luck!
Keep your eyes out! This plant used to be super inexpensive. Last summer I found two 3 inch pots priced at $3.50 each! By the way I found it at a local hardware store
I just got a green one. I'm taking some cuttings to experiment with different levels of ligth to see if i can get those cupreum tones . Thanks for your video!
Micans is in my top 3 faves, and I'm blessed to have a local nursery that grows and propagates them themselves, so they're always available and always cheap :) I can't resist and usually come home with another micans every time I visit LOL.
Thanks for showing the copper colored leaves...I wasn't sure if that was a problem or not, but the leaf I have that's copper feels healthy currently so I've left it alone.
The color of the leaves has to do with the amount of light the plant gets. I love the copper colored leaves, so I try to make sure my Micans gets plenty of light. Thanks for watching!
I love my Micans! These plants grow so quickly and are so easy to propagate. My two small plants have grown like weeds and I've taken several cuttings from it to share with friends. Enjoy your MIcans!
Thank you for this amazing video! I just got my Micans yesterday it is so beautiful that I can’t stop looking at it!!! I got a small one can’t wait to see it grow!!!
You are so welcome. Don't worry about your Micans being small. Mine was tiny when I got it also. Once they take off, they grow like weeds. Enjoy your Micans!
Thanks for the leaf colour comparison Peggy! I've had mine in an east-facing window throughout the fall and winter and its leaves are quite coppery on the front. I think I'm going to move it back a bit because I really prefer them when they are dark green!
One of my favorites indeed! A friend blessed me with 3 looooong vine cuttings. potted up now, and growing ever so lovely. Thank you for the vid as always! Very thorough and informative :)
Hi Peggy, I have my Micans on a moss pole and it's been living outside during Summer. It exploded with growth ! I call it my pseudo Melanochrysum 😄 They are quite expensive in SA, thankfully they grow very well and are low maintenance.
I'm sure mine would do much better outside too, especially since I would be able to leave it out year round. I have many plants outdoors that grow so well, but am afraid to leave any of my favorites out there. Maybe I will put one of my smaller ones outside. I bet yours is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Thank you! I sometimes regret all the cuttings I've taken from it because I wonder what it would like like had I left it alone. On the other hand, I've been able to trade and share the Micans love. LOL Thanks for watching.
Hello that plants is so beautiful I’m new subscribers watching from California thanks the information on how to propagate and care tips thanks for sharing god bless and stay safe
I love your videos and learn so much! In one video, I noticed a plant on a board (dischidia?) with moss that was resting in leca. Can you do a video on the care of plants on boards? Thanks!
I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Thank you for supporting my video. The mounted plant is actually a shingling raphidophora. I have been planning to do a video on the and haven't. I will make it a point to do one. Thanks for the recommendation.
They really are beautiful. I've propagated mine several times over the winter months and have been thrilled by how easy they grow. I'm sure yours will be full and huge in no. time!
Lisa A From Chattanooga Tn, I just found your channel and just watched your ZZ video Sept 2020, and thought I would Subscribe because I love my Raven ZZ so lets see what she also likes omg Micans too I want this plant so bad my grandmother had this plant but I can not afford one maybe one day. I just cant see paying 30 dollars for a leaf and a node . cant wait to see your next video.
Great video. You always answer all of the questions we might think of. My eyes kept wandering over to the plant "next" to the Micans. Is that a Brazil? She's beautiful as well.
LOL, you're like me. I always get distracted looking at all of the other plants in a video. 😊 It is a Brazil. They are a favorite of mine too and I have two of them. Once grows outside and this one indoors. Thanks for watching!
Hazel L, if you are around GTA, there are two very nice nurseries (Vandermeer at Whitby and Valleyview at Markham) that do carry Micans once in a while. And although they are not a part of a regular stock, whenever they are out the price is really reasonable 👍🏼
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. What's not to love about a Micans? I have a couple of small one's I'm thinking of putting on a moss pole. They are so pretty when they are trailing, as well. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. I appreciate you!
I love my Mican too. I started to see spots on it when it hits the light. I freaked out and thought it was thrips so I sprayed it with the hose and it damaged all my leaves. It looks horrible now. :(
.. If you let it climb a pole or give it a wodden board, you'll have a very different plant.. The more it climbs, the higher it climbs, the bigger the leafs.. No kidding.. I've seen it.. And being a climbing plant it's no wonder.. That goes for all climbing plants 🤗
I may do that with some of my Micans propagations. I love the way it looks as a hanging plant but would love to have the larger leaves. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!
Those plants do not like me. I ordered two from Etsy and they both are doing poorly. Curled leaves, wilting and I have no idea what to do to make them happy. I have to keep pinching of dead leaves.
I find that mine does best under lower light conditions. I use a moisture meter to see when the soil is dry and then I water. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Yours will probably be full and beautiful in no time. They grow and root so easily. Enjoy your Micans!
Thank u peggy for this valuable information, greetings from Barbados. The first time I laid my eyes on this plant was two days ago and fell in love with it immediately, I bought it for $2.50 US.
That's wonderful! It's such a beautiful plant. Enjoy!
I love this plant. I got a 4” pot from a seller for $18, has about 12 leaves I can’t wait till it start growing. I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO💚
That was a bargain. Yay!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. You may be surprised at how quickly yours grows. Enjoy your Micans!

They are beautiful plants. If she isn't happy, she will let you know, but they are easy plants.

I just got a green one. I'm taking some cuttings to experiment with different levels of ligth to see if i can get those cupreum tones . Thanks for your video!
Sounds very interesting. From my experience, the more light these plants get, the more copper tones you get in the leaves. Thanks for watching!

LOL, spoken like a true Micans lover. Enjoy your Micans...all of them!😀🌿💚
This video is right on time. I just got tiny one in the mail. Hopefully it doesn't die.
Enjoy your new Micans! They are easy to grow and quite hardy. You've got this!
Hope it’s still doing well!!!!

Another plant I’m getting in the mail soon! I’m enjoying your videos because you hit all the important points.
Glad you like them and thanks for watching. Enjoy your new Micans!

Bought two 4 inch plants for $10 each.
I'm obsessed with them.

It really is. Thanks for watching.
Agreed!
I just ordered a 4 inch plant on Etsy. Thanks for all the growing tips. Wish me luck, My watering skills are really poor. Thanks again Peggy.
You can do it! The Micans is a pretty easy and forgiving plant. Enjoy your Micans!
@@PeggysPlants thanks for the encouragement. I will do my best. Also just got a Purple passion plant.
The micans is so lovely! Wow they grew so much in only a year! 💚 congrats on 10K subs!!
Thank you! I sometimes regret all the cuttings I've taken from it because I wonder what it would like like had I left it alone. On the other hand, I've been able to trade and share the Micans love. LOL Thanks for watching.

Thank you for sharing this video with us. Can you explain how you use the heating pad with your cuttings that you are propagating?
I just sit the container with the plant I am trying to root on the heating pad. The warmth encourages root growth.
Beautiful! I love mine... the new leaves are so pretty.
Thank you for these “care for” videos!
Glad you like them! You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
I love my Micans.
I love mine too. They are so pretty and easy to grow. Thanks for watching!

Excellent video, as always. Very informative and a joy to watch. Great content! 👏👌
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank for watching!🌿💚
Thanks for the propagation tips. I plan on making a small prop to use for trade!

Great video my friend! 👌 Keep going! 👍
Thank you for watching and for your support!

Welcome to the plant famiy, LIsa A. Sounds like you have wonderful taste in plants. LOL Thanks for watching!
Thank you Ms. Peggy, your Micans is lovely 💚🙃 I hope to be getting one soon💚🙃
You are so welcome. I hope one comes your way soon. Thanks for watching.
Your micans is beautiful
Thank you!
Great video. You always answer all of the questions we might think of. My eyes kept wandering over to the plant "next" to the Micans. Is that a Brazil? She's beautiful as well.
LOL, you're like me. I always get distracted looking at all of the other plants in a video. 😊 It is a Brazil. They are a favorite of mine too and I have two of them. Once grows outside and this one indoors. Thanks for watching!
I would love to find one. I live in Ontario Canada and have never come across one. Thanks for sharing as always
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching!
Hazel L, if you are around GTA, there are two very nice nurseries (Vandermeer at Whitby and Valleyview at Markham) that do carry Micans once in a while. And although they are not a part of a regular stock, whenever they are out the price is really reasonable 👍🏼
@@muffininc.2569 Thank you!
Where in Ontario?!? So am I and I see them everywhere now. Just posted about it.
@@muffininc.2569 yes! I love both of those places!
So much good info!!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
One of my favorites. Great info. Do you use fertilizer on your calathea?
Yes I do. I use the same pre mixed fertilizer on all of my plants, even the Calathea. I can't have any diva plants! LOL
@@PeggysPlants good to know. 👍
New subscriber here and I love your videos!!
Welcome to the plant family and thanks for supporting my channel!
The micans is one of my favorite too. I have them vining. Propagating and just put one on pole. They are just so pretty!!! Thank you for all you do
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. What's not to love about a Micans? I have a couple of small one's I'm thinking of putting on a moss pole. They are so pretty when they are trailing, as well. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. I appreciate you!
I love my Mican too. I started to see spots on it when it hits the light. I freaked out and thought it was thrips so I sprayed it with the hose and it damaged all my leaves. It looks horrible now. :(
Spring will be here in no time and your Micans will probably bounce back quickly. Hopefully by the end of summer it will look fabulous!
Same thing happened to me 😭
Thank you
You're welcome!
Just received mine. I'm worried about its curled leaves.
If your roots are looking good, the curled leaves may just due to transition and should be fine, unless it has been under or over watered.
I found my micans at Home Depot for 16.98
Nice!
.. If you let it climb a pole or give it a wodden board, you'll have a very different plant.. The more it climbs, the higher it climbs, the bigger the leafs.. No kidding.. I've seen it.. And being a climbing plant it's no wonder.. That goes for all climbing plants 🤗
