About this plant

Philodendron Neon has bright yellow-green foliage. The main photo shows heart-shaped leaves in a nursery pot, with several shades of green across the plant. It shows the 4-inch option.

Place it in bright, indirect light, away from strong direct sun. Check the soil before watering and let it dry slightly between drinks. Water thoroughly, then let the pot drain.

A loose, well-draining potting mix helps keep the roots from sitting in wet soil. Use a container with drainage holes, and empty any water that collects in the saucer or outer pot.

Keep the plant in a warm room away from cold drafts. Wipe dust from the leaves with a soft, damp cloth. Remove damaged leaves with clean scissors, and give new growth room to spread.

Questions people ask

Is Philodendron Neon the same as Neon Pothos?

No. This listing is for Philodendron Neon. Neon Pothos belongs to a different plant group and is a separate product.

How much light does it need?

For philodendrons in general: bright, indirect light is a good starting point. Strong direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light can lead to sparse growth.

How often should I water it?

Check the soil and let it dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly and allow it to drain. Room temperature, light and pot size affect how quickly the mix dries.

How do I trim it?

For philodendrons in general: use clean scissors to remove damaged leaves. Trim growing stems just above a node when you want to shorten them. Avoid heavy pruning while growth is slow.

Which option is pictured?

The main photo shows the 4-inch nursery-pot option. It does not show the 3-inch option. Pot size describes the container, not the plant height.
