Lemon Lime (Neon) Philodendron
Sunshine in a pot! The Philodendron hederaceum 'Lemon Lime' or Philodendron Neon is very aptly named with those glorious heart-shaped leaves in shades from golden lime to emerald green. Catch her during growing season and you'll be blessed with the most beautiful pinky-gold baby leaves too!
Light
With her golden-lime leaves, the Philodendron Neon will tolerate lower light than others in her family, but give her brighter light and she'll reward you with more of those gorgeous blush-gold baby leaves during growing season. No direct sunlight though or she'll burn.
Water
Give the Philodendron Lemon Lime a good drench when you water, then let her dry out in-between. If you're unsure, wait a bit longer, as being too dry rather than too wet is a safer bet. Those big heart-shaped leaves benefit from a mist often in summer, less often in winter, especially helpful if dusty to let her leaves breathe. High humidity isn't a must, she'll tolerate typical household humidity, but if you can provide higher humidity she'll reward you with even bigger leaves.
