Philodendron 'Neon' - Glow Up!: Easy-Care Heart-Shaped Leaf Houseplant
Prepare for a houseplant that brings the glow! Our Philodendron 'Neon' a.k.a. 'Glow Up!' is the ultimate heart-throb for plant lovers, sporting electric neon-green, heart-shaped leaves that light up any room. Native to the coastal regions of Brazil, this easy-breezy epiphytic houseplant loves to climb and wander. Whether you're a seasoned plant whisperer or a total newbie, this plant demands little and gives a lot—think of it as the reliable friend who always shows up, rain or shine!
Benefits:
- Low Maintenance: Perfect for those who forget to water sometimes (raises hand).
- Air-Purifying: Brightens your space and freshens your air.
- Heart-Shaped Leaves: Adorably attractive foliage.
- Flexible Placement: Thrives in low to medium indirect light.
Care Instructions:
Glow Up! thrives on neglect—or at least minimal attention. Place it in a spot with low to medium indirect sunlight and water it only when the top inch of soil is dry. Pro-tip: These guys appreciate their privacy, so avoid overwatering. If you feel extra fancy, feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Just remember, this luxuriant vine wants to climb, so give it a pole or let it trail fabulously.
Décor Tips:
Neon’s glowing leaves beg for a cute, stylish planter. Pop it in a bright ceramic pot to really make those neon hues pop. Place it on a high shelf and let the vines drape gracefully down. Alternatively, hang it near a window for that chic, cascading allure. Pair with other vibrant or variegated plants for a bold botanical ensemble.
