Philodendron camposportoanum aka Philodendron Micans

Philodendron Micans’s native range is Central, South America, and the Caribbean.

Philodendron Micans should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Philodendron Micans loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Philodendron Micans can survive in low light conditions, making them ideal for rooms that are far from windows or other light sources. However, for best results, place the plant less than 6 feet from a south-facing window to ensure it receives enough light.

The Philodendron Micans is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.

The Philodendron Micans should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

A typical dormancy pattern is not present in the Philodendron Micans. If the growth slows down dramatically, confirm that the plant is getting enough sunlight and water for optimal growth.
