Philodendrons are all about foliage, and the vining Neon Philodendron has some of the best in this leafy family of plants. Reaching vines are covered with heart-shaped leaves in a vibrant shade of bright green. The cascading vines create a dense curtain of greenery, making the Philodendron cordatum an excellent plant to perch on a high shelf or display in a plant hanger. The Neon Philodendron is easy to grow and requires minimal care, making it a good plant for beginners and anyone looking to green up their space.
Best Locations For Growing Neon Philodendron
The Neon Philodendron is an adaptable plant that can handle different areas of the home. North- and east-facing windows are good locations for the Neon Philodendron. Use this plant to add lush greenery to a family room or let the vines trail from a bookcase.
Neon Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
Low to bright indirect sunlight is needed for the Neon Philodendron. In nature, this tropical plant grows on the forest floor in dappled light. The bold foliage will brighten up a dimly lit area all on its own. Bright direct light will damage the leaves.
Neon Philodendron Care
Dust and debris can collect on the leaves with time. Rinse the plant off in a sink or shower using room-temperature water. Cleaning the foliage helps the plant look amazing and allows it to conduct photosynthesis more efficiently.
Watering Neon Philodendron
Water the Neon Philodendron when the top few inches of soil are dry. This plant likes a deep drink when it is time to water. Drench the soil and remove extra water from the cover pot or tray. The adaptable Neon Philodendron does well in average humidity, but this tropical plant can live in increased humidity or areas with low humidity. You may need to adjust how frequently the plant is watered based on the humidity present.
Feeding Neon Philodendron
Encourage plenty of new brightly colored leaves by feeding the Neon Philodendron. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every couple of weeks when the plant is actively growing. Philodendrons may take a break, and their growth may slow in the winter. Do not fertilize plants that are not actively growing.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
