Philodendron 'Neon'

Philodendron Neon – A Vibrant and Easy-to-Care-For Houseplant 🌿

Philodendron Neon is a stunning, low-maintenance houseplant known for its vibrant, neon-green leaves that add a pop of color to any room. Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, this plant brings a fresh and energetic touch of nature to your home. 🌱

Lighting ☀️: Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can adapt to lower light conditions but will show its brightest color in a well-lit spot. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering 💧: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

Temperature 🌡️: Prefers temperatures between 18°C and 27°C. Keep the plant away from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Soil 🌱: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A blend designed for aroids or houseplants, such as one with peat, perlite, and bark, works well.

Fertilization 🌿: Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent salt buildup.

Toxic to Pets 🐾: Philodendron Neon is toxic to cats and dogs. It contains oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, throat, and stomach if ingested.

Philodendron Neon is a climber, producing long, flexible stems that naturally seek support. As it matures, it will grow larger, more beautiful leaves. Providing a climbing structure like a moss pole or trellis encourages the plant to grow vertically and spread its vibrant foliage.

With its love for humidity, Philodendron Neon is an ideal companion for a Humidipot.
