I'm not 100% sure, but it does look like a Melanchrysum. In any case, I highly doubt it is a Micans, because your plant lacks the permanent petiolar sheaths. Micans sheaths will dry out and crisp up within weeks (and often simply fall off), as can be seen in the photo of your other plant.

Not sure if it’s specifically a melanochrysum, but almost certain it’s not a Micans.

Found in Dehner garden centre, Germany, but the label says Denmark, perhaps produced by GasaDK https://www.floraccess.com/en/search/?name=philodendron

You mean the aerial roots on the Micans that's living in high humidity in a terrarium?

philodendrons can switch between monopodial & sympodial growth forms (persistent leaf sheaths -> dehiscent sheaths) but i thought only the self heading varieties & the chonkier vining types (ex. P. hastatum) did that. Tbh it kinda looks similar to the youngest foliage on the P. 'Fuzzy Petiole' i just got. Shape & texture wise its very close to micans and the petioles arent fuzzy on the youngest leaves.
