Philodendron hederaceum (Velvet Leaf Philodendron) Houseplant Care - 22 of 365
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~

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 🌿💚🙏🍁

I saw them at my local nursery and went crazy, bought 4 of them, they’re absolutely beautiful.
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😊👍❤.
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!
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.
It's one of my favorite easy plants.
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
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.

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!
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.
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 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!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I just got mine and it makes me happy.
I’ve had my eye on one of these for awhile now. I needs it!
Just bought this, and it is beautifull!!!!!
I just got mine. And your always the KZreadd to go to. Thanks
Mine was just delivered yesterday. Absolutely beautiful!
thanks for the video Summer, I cant wait to feel this plant at the nursery.
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 wanted to actually know about it and thought to search in ua video library...and here it goes ...greaat video :)
I did not know about this plant. Thank you for the video.
I am growing it in water only. It is growing slowly.
One of my favourite
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.

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?

⭐️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.
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 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 ?
i would love to find out how to build a green wall.
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

Burn marks or damage from direct sun exposure
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.
@AdrianaLusitano

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.
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.
@eckehareckbert2731

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

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.

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 :-(

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.
