I'm getting a Micans cutting in a few days so I'm so glad I found this video to give me some great info!! Thanks so much ❤

[@beautybetic8868]

This was so informative thank you! I got my micans a few weeks ago after it being in my Etsy cart for over a year. I’m so happy with this plant!

[@jordyn87]

Same!! I have wanted one for SO long and pulled the trigger like 2 weeks ago and I decided to prop it today bc I want mine fuller lol

[@alison3623]

Just staked mine with a pole! Funny enough one of the reasons I felt connected to your channel was seeing your giant peace lily video and seeing your micans. Both of which I have as well and love dearly!

[@GoodandPlanty]

that is so nice to know!! yeah, those two are definitely some of my more 'near and dear' plants 🥰 your micans is going to looove that lol

[@dimasf.c4373]

My philodendron micans has literal leaves every 2-3 days😳 such a fast growing plants!!

[@Aaditya1ad]

How? Spill the beans 😂. Lighting condition, fertilisers, temp, humidity, tell us everything.

[@madelinerivera3837]

Thanks for sharing this video. Love your micans. I purchased two small 2 1/2 inch pots about 2 months ago and it has been growing beautifully. Such a pretty plant.

[@GoodandPlanty]

agreed! i keep her in my room because i love waking up and just admiring her 🤩 yours will grow 5 ft tall before you know it!

Great video! My first Mican is currently in the mail. Such good information! Thank you so much!!!!

[@something.about.plants2495]

Great video!! I have one and have been stumped on watering so this helped me feel more confident that I’ve been doing ok with that!

[@GoodandPlanty]

yay!! yeah, watering is one of the trickiest parts of caring for a micans 😖

[@something.about.plants2495]

@@GoodandPlanty so true because you’re right...the leaves take forever to start to curl! So I don’t like to wait that long 😬😅

[@KouponKing]

Ugh! I'm so obssessed with my Micans. It's definitely one of my favorites 😍 thanks for the vid

[@MissyR2538]

You have such a beautiful Micans, great job, it's def one of the many on my wishlist right now. Thanks for sharing your tips n Happy growing!😁

[@allisoncarver1756]

Thank you for the info. Got me thinking! 👍🏼

[@kella.cordes]

I’m actually on time today!!! Micans is my fav 🥺 I really hope all of mine can be as big and beautiful as yours one day!!!

[@GoodandPlanty]

i'm sure it will be!! they are so beautiful at any size 🤩

[@iAdrianT]

you need a pole, moss pole or have them climb your wall. otherwise leaf size wont increase, rather decrease

[@avamarshall1209]

I love that glass box you use for your wetsticks! Where can I find one??😁

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you so much! it's a repurposed jewelry box ☺️

[@usernametaken97]

I’ve see similar ones at Michael’s craft store.

[@Emma-jd8zt]

Hey Kat, your tips for the peace lily helped SO much :') I then gave it a good water in the shower. It's now back to it's old self. Thank you!

[@GoodandPlanty]

that's such great news!! 😌

[@FionaGrace]

i cant wait to get my hands on a micans someday! i never see them around where i live

[@GoodandPlanty]

i have slowly seen them become more common again! some nurseries by me that didn't have them before now carry them. hopefully you find one!

[@Dollsanity]

Mine just arrived today. Doggone Amazon has them surprisingly. The thing actually looks good.

[@FionaGrace]

@@Dollsanity wait WHAT

[@SP-os3yy]

I just got one and im sooo HAPPY

[@GoodandPlanty]

you're going to love it!!

[@alexandradadzwell8914]

Ive propagated philodendrons, phothos, etc in water no problem but my micans cutting never rooted and just died. I was sooooo sad! Hopefully it works better for me in moss😅

[@jaihamilton7458]

Weird, might have needed to be in an aquarium for more nutrients. Mine has been in an aquarium for 6-8 months, and all the roots have grown into the substrate. It started with two leaves, now it has grown to about a metre long at least. Just make sure no leaf is in the water, it will die off. I've lost a few leaves due to it re-entering the water on parts of the vine, because the leaf was fully underwater.

[@jasminem.1065]

Micans goals. 😍 What do you think about a coconut coir pole instead?

[@GoodandPlanty]

i want to try it! don't have any experience though.

[@elanalipkin6661]

MY FAV PLANT OF YOURS

[@debrag3666]

Your plant is beautiful

[@faith339]

Thanks for making this video! Have been looking forward to this one and think it'll be worth getting the moisture meter to keep my new micans alive! The one I had bought before had mealy bugs and after taking it out of the pot it actually had root rot as well.. Was so annoyed as I spent £20 on a basically dead plant haha. Have gotten a new one that looks a lot healthier for sure so fingers crossed!

[@GoodandPlanty]

oh noooo! how unfortunate! yes, fingers crossed this time around is better 🤞

[@Janji-co]

thanks for the timestamps :)

[@elanalipkin6661]

such an informative queen.

[@GoodandPlanty]

i try :-)

[@dianahartley-kim7109]

I am trying to train my Micans up a column.

[@Mar13579]

I want one of these SO badly 😍♥️🌱💚 they are so hard to find 😩🥺

[@Dyl0829]

I can’t wait to get one they are still near impossible to find near me which really sucks, a cutting was 40$+shipping

[@Amelia-p1c]

I’ve been looking forward to seeing a notification for this video since you mentioned it in the last one! Always giving us the best content 🌱✨ Not sure if you know the answer, but I will ask just in case! Is it normal for the back of the leaves to transition from red to green overtime, or would this be due to a light issue? I brought mine home expecting more red but it seems like only certain leaves have it.

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you amelia!! as for your leaves - i am not 100% sure. i do believe the maturity of the plant affects leaf color but i haven't had any of my leaves transition from red to green. so, my best guess is light. if anyone else sees this, please feel free to weigh in! lol

[@NA-or2js]

hello where did you purchase that trellis pole? Thank you

[@leonova9526]

your micans looks so cute

[@GoodandPlanty]

she really is a cutie 😌

[@jeannettegutierrez6666]

Very informative video. Do you recommend coco coir instead of organic soil and do they do ok in terracotta pots?

[@andreaahi]

Your micans is absolutely stunning!! Just got some and I've got a moss pole like your's coming for it! so excited!!

[@GoodandPlanty]

ahhh how exciting! great idea on the moisture meter 😏

[@katemanning8705]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ZoeMcDash]

Love this! I watched your moss pole video and will be making one today! May I ask how many Micans cuttings you started with in your pot? Thanks so much!

[@GoodandPlanty]

the baby pot probably has around 10 cuttings in it

[@sansonkrylow1997]

omg I love you SO MUCH! instant sub.

[@Mar13579]

Me too she’s so natural, and nice and cute 🥰♥️ not to mention straight to the point, and good info 🌱💚

[@matthewmoore7366]

Can you get into the ariel roots a bit? I have a thriving micas, just today learning the plant actually is. Anyways I'm ready to transplant, the vines are a good 6' but I haven't begun yet because I'm unsure about the ariel roots. Will they take in soil? Awesome video BTW, I may try out a moss tower with the new micans

[@MountainsnVallies]

You can root those aerial roots in water.. they will grow white roots then repot 😊

[@blythe4336]

You inspired me to get a Micans. It’s beautiful and I absolutely love it… mine is a sad boi though and I’m super stressed 😂😳😭

[@xsalonga]

Hi Kat! Very helpful video. I just got my Micans last week! Quick question, do you recommend misting them? Would it not have a negative effect on the velvety foliage?

[@GoodandPlanty]

i actually don't like misting in general! however, i will say these plants are a lot less particular about moisture on their leaves than some other textured plants (ahem begonias). to be safe, i still wouldn't mist but you don't have to go as far as bottom watering.

[@frasercook5823]

Internodal (stem) cutting and Apical (tip) cuttings are the terms.

[@GoodandPlanty]

THANK YOU! lol

[@michelleperez5092]

i keep hearing you say you do trades with the micans cuttings? what does that mean?

[@GoodandPlanty]

sometimes you can swap plant cuttings with people! it’s a great way to grow your collection for free :)

[@ytdanielle]

great video

[@GoodandPlanty]

thanks!

[@danabella6540]

What soil you use?

[@cd7228]

I wish more creators used humidity percentages. What is “normal” to you guys could be high to me. One girl I watched said “oh I have normal household humidity... it’s like 60%” ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️THAT is extremely high for me!! My “normal” is 35%-45%. The humidity in my house has never naturally reached 60%. Please be more clear about percentages. 😇 other than that I enjoy your videos! Your absolutely adorable!🥰

[@GoodandPlanty]

thank you courtney! to clarify, any humidity from 35-60% is fine. you can also go a little lower or higher - the plant doesn’t care that much!

[@GoodandPlanty]

i’ll add a disclaimer though: it’s fine with a wide range of humidity as long as it is acclimated to receive that

[@profleofrancisco]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🌱

[@elanalipkin6661]

Wow look at you looking FLAWLESS

[@GoodandPlanty]

OH PLEASE 💚

[@heyhoneyy]

What is your soil? Like what mix , brand, alterations etc. Please lmk. I have 60 plants but cannot get micans to be happy for NOTHING. PLEASE RESPOND 😭 I'M DESPERATE

[@GoodandPlanty]

hi! i have a video on the soil i use on my channel

[@heyhoneyy]

@@GoodandPlanty thanks for responding

[@heyhoneyy]

@Jesusand Houseplants I've figured them out since I posted this, they really are doing well with very minimal watering. If the soil is damp at all, I don't water. Only when it's bone dry do I water.

[@heyhoneyy]

@Jesusand Houseplants thank you also 😘😊

[@tiffaniemcmillan209]

My micans hates me. I just can’t get it to flourish.

[@GoodandPlanty]

oh no 😭 if i’m struggling with a plant sometimes i’ll try to change 1 aspect of their care and monitor for the next two weeks and see what the plants reaction is. and i’ll keep doing that till i narrow down the problems. easier said than done though lol

Why do people talk about North facing and South facing windows? Sun rises in the east and sets in the west and is brightest from the windows in these directions, right?
