🌿 Philodendron hederaceum ‘Lemon Micans’ in "Bowl Pot — Lemon Lime Velvet Heartleaf

Philodendron ‘Lemon Micans’ is a vibrant, velvety trailing plant known for its bright lime-green and golden-chartreuse foliage, offering a refreshing and uplifting alternative to the deeper tones of the classic Philodendron Micans. With its soft, heart-shaped leaves and trailing habit, this variety brings both texture and bold colour contrast to interior spaces.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Indoors: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant colour and compact growth.

• Too much sun: Harsh direct sunlight may fade or scorch the foliage.

• Low light: Tolerated, but may cause duller colour and leggier growth.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal temperature: 18–26°C (65–79°F)

• Minimum temperature: Keep above 15°C (59°F)

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity, but copes well with average indoor levels.

💧 Watering Needs

• Watering frequency: Water when the top 3–5 cm of soil is dry. Keep lightly moist but not waterlogged.

• Winter: Water less frequently as growth slows.

• Tip: In bowl pots, ensure proper drainage to prevent soggy roots.

🪴 Soil & Container Notes

• Soil type: Use a well-draining aroid mix — compost with perlite and orchid bark is ideal.

• Pot type: Suits a wide, shallow bowl pot, allowing soft trails to drape over the edge for a full, cascading effect.

• Drainage: Ensure pots have drainage holes or use an inner liner with a decorative bowl.

🌱 Feeding

• Growing season (spring–summer): Feed every 4–6 weeks with a gentle liquid houseplant fertiliser.

• Autumn–winter: Reduce feeding or pause if growth slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Pruning: Trim to shape and encourage bushier growth. Regular pruning prevents legginess.

• Leaf care: Gently dust with a soft brush or cloth to enhance leaf vibrancy and texture.

  • Leggy vines: Usually from low light — move to a brighter position.
