Ruby Flora Philodendron Micans

Not at all. It is considered a beginner-friendly plant because it is quite forgiving. As long as you provide bright, indirect light and avoid letting the soil stay soggy, it will grow steadily.

No, the Philodendron Micans is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a hanging basket well out of reach of curious pets.

It means the plant should be placed near a window where it can see the sky, but direct sun rays do not touch the leaves. A spot a few feet away from a south or west-facing window, or right in front of an east-facing window, is usually perfect.

Aim for a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so always check the soil moisture with your finger before adding more water.

While it appreciates a little extra moisture, it does perfectly well in average household humidity. You do not need to worry about using a humidifier or pebble tray unless your home is exceptionally dry.

It is naturally a vining plant, so it will trail beautifully if placed in a hanging basket or on a high shelf. If you prefer a fuller look, you can also train it to climb a moss pole or trellis.
