Know before you buy
While it can tolerate lower light, the vibrant chartreuse color is best maintained in medium indirect light. In very dim corners, the leaves may gradually shift to a deeper, darker green.
No, the Philodendron 'Neon' is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious animals.
This plant prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Check the top two inches of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water, but be careful not to let it sit in standing water.
It has a natural vining habit, meaning it will trail beautifully over the edges of a shelf or hanging planter. If you prefer a climbing look, you can train the vines to grow upward by providing a moss pole or trellis.
It is quite adaptable and does well in standard household humidity levels. It does not require a humidifier or frequent misting to stay healthy.
