Philodendron Neon 6cm

Scientific Name:

Philodendron hederaceum 'Neon'

Overview:

Philodendron 'Neon' is a vibrant tropical houseplant prized for its luminous chartreuse-green, heart-shaped foliage. Its bright leaves create an instant focal point, bringing colour and freshness to any indoor space. This versatile variety can be grown as a trailing plant in hanging baskets or trained to climb a moss pole or support, where it develops larger, more impressive foliage over time. Easy to grow and highly rewarding, it is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts.

Care Level:

Easy

Lighting Requirements:

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It will tolerate lower light conditions, although the foliage may become less vibrant. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering:

Water when the top 2–3cm of soil feels dry. Keep the compost lightly moist during the growing season, ensuring excess water drains away freely. Reduce watering during the cooler winter months.

Placement Tips:

• Perfect for shelves, desks, plant stands, and hanging planters
• Can be trained to climb a moss pole or allowed to trail naturally
• Enjoys warm rooms with moderate to high humidity
• An excellent choice for bright living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and conservatories

Approximate Size:

Supplied in a 6cm nursery pot. Mature plants can reach approximately 60–90cm in length indoors, depending on growing conditions and whether they are allowed to climb.

Important Note:

• A fast-growing tropical foliage plant that benefits from regular feeding during spring and summer
• Higher humidity encourages larger, healthier leaves and stronger growth
• Rarely flowers indoors and is primarily grown for its striking foliage
• Toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets, as all parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals.

Ordering Note:
