    Currently one of my longest living plants from when I first got started in the hobby. I actually did get mine in a Wal Mart of all places. P.S: Your channel is growing to be MASSIVE. I can't say I was here from the beginning beginning- but I have watched you grow.

      You were one of my early subscribers. Thanks so much for your continued support. I believe I've seen your Micans in a few of your videos. If I recall correctly, it's quite long. Mine is nowhere near yours. LOL. I can't believe you found it at a WalMart! Thanks for watching. I appreciate you!

    My first ever wishlist plant! I finally found an old, tired straggly one in need of rehab and have since chopped and proped and am enjoying 4 new growth points in only a few weeks. 🌱
    Yours is so full and lovely. Great video 👏👏

    Thank you. I am a new plant parent (only have a few aroids, but they are alive) and once I saw these I knew they were my vibe! Kind of different and mysterious looking. I have one coming in and plan on hanging it and letting it trail near a south facing window that gets tons of light with a sheer curtain. Hope she likes it!

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The color of the leaves has to do with the amount of light the plant gets. I love the copper colored leaves, so I try to make sure my Micans gets plenty of light. Thanks for watching!

  • @ismaelsoto9680

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds very interesting. From my experience, the more light these plants get, the more copper tones you get in the leaves. Thanks for watching!

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry to hear that. You may need to adjust your soil mix or check for pests. I find those to be the main issues other than over watering. I hope you are able to turn things around with your Micans. Best of luck!

    They are quite expensive in SA, thankfully they grow very well and are low maintenance.

    • @PeggysPlants
      @PeggysPlants  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm sure mine would do much better outside too, especially since I would be able to leave it out year round. I have many plants outdoors that grow so well, but am afraid to leave any of my favorites out there. Maybe I will put one of my smaller ones outside. I bet yours is gorgeous!
