The Philodendron micans variegated albo is an exceptional appearance within the world of the aroid lover. This rare climbing plant combines the velvety, dark green leaves of the classic Philodendron micans with unpredictable patterns of cream to white variegation. Each leaf is unique and can display subtle marbling, splashes or complete sectors in bright white - a rare genetic variation that is highly favored among connoisseurs.

Origin

The species Philodendron micans is native to the tropical rain forests of Central America, particularly in Mexico and surrounding areas. The variegated albo-variant is a rare mutation found only in cultivation and is propagated vegetatively to maintain the variegated leaf markings.

Characteristics

This plant is notable for its velvety leaf surface that displays a subtle sheen when viewed in oblique light. The leaves are heart-shaped and can range from deep olive green to almost purple-brown, depending on the incidence of light. The variegation ranges from fine speckles to broad cream-colored sectors. These variegated patterns make the micans variegated albo a visual eye-catcher in any plant collection.

Care

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the delicate variegated parts. Too little light can reduce variegation.

Temperature

A constant temperature between 18 and 25 °C is recommended. The plant does not tolerate cold and should be kept frost-free.

Substrate

Use an aerated, well-drained aroid substrate based on coconut chips, bark, charcoal and sphagnum. Avoid compact potting soil.

Humidity

High humidity of 60% or more is strongly recommended to prevent leaf damage. In dry areas, a humidifier or regular spraying helps.

Nutrition

During the growing season (spring to fall), give a balanced nutrition for foliage plants biweekly, but avoid over-fertilizing young plants.

Watering

Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry slightly between waterings. Preferably give demineralized water or clean rainwater at room temperature.

Flowering

Although flowering is possible in older specimens, this plant is valued primarily for its foliage. Inflorescences are rare in a domestic environment.

Great little temper
Size: 53mm, Color: Silver
Works great! Only problem is that it doesn’t have that feel of tamping. Wish I had more feedback. It just goes down very easily and doesn’t have that feeling of solid tamping. Now that doesn’t mean it’s not doing its job. Works fine but would like some manual feedback.

Take the guess work out of the flow!
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
I got this because when my wife makes espresso, it's watery. When i make it, it's fine. We needed a controlled Tampering method so we both do the same job. This is heavy, and being able to use the whole hand instead of fingers, not much effort is needed. Since we purchased this, we were able to make consistent espresso shots for sure.

Not as good as I expected
When it first came, the box fell apart as I was taking it out, and a lot of some kind of dirt or sand kept falling out all over my table and floor. I had the take the entire thing apart and thoroughly wash it. After drying age reassembling it, I tried it on my portafilter that came with my Breville Barista Express, but, somehow, it doesn't always make the tamping level. You would think with the ridge that rests on the side of the portafilter that it would force it to remain level, but, somehow, it doesn't, at least not consistently. It also has varying lengths (heights, or depths), and a single spring tension, so you may still over tamping or under-tamp. I was expecting it would have a censor that would just detect once it reached 30 lbs of force and cut off after that, similar to a torque screwdriver, but that's not what this is. I'll still give it 3 stars because, despite the problems mentioned above, it at least produces some amount of consistency, even if that isn't measurable; but, I can't give it 5 stars because of those issues mentioned above.

This is the one.
Size: 58.3mm, Color: Black
As an el Supremo Coffee Geek, I've wasted money on lots of different tampers. Save your money and buy this one or it's equivalent. This thing is heavy duty, solid, well-made, self-leveling, tamps at 30 pounds and is fool-proof even for fools. Also, it's a palm tamper meaning more fun and more satisfying to use as you prep the puck for your morning buzz. Buy it. You will thank me.
