🌱 Plant Overview

Scientific name: Philodendron cordatum ‘Neon’Common name: Neon PhilodendronType: Tropical evergreen, indoor foliage plantHighlight: Bright neon-green heart-shaped leaves

☀️ Light

Prefers bright, indirect light.

Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate neon leaves.

Can tolerate medium light but growth will slow down.

💧 Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.

Keep soil slightly moist but not soggy.

Overwatering may cause root rot — always ensure proper drainage.

Reduce watering during cooler months.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Ideal temperature: 18–30°C.

Avoid cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.

Loves moderate to high humidity — mist leaves occasionally or use a humidifier if the air is too dry.

🌿 Soil

Use a well-draining aroid mix, e.g.:

Coco peat or peat moss

Perlite or pumice

Orchid bark or coarse sand

The goal: moisture retention + airflow around roots.

🌸 Fertilizer

Feed monthly during the growing season (spring–summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength).

No need for fertilizer during winter dormancy.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Trim off yellow or leggy growth to encourage bushier growth.

Can be trained to trail or climb — use a moss pole or hanging pot.

🪴 Repotting

Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.

Choose a pot 1 size larger with drainage holes.
