Oh, Philodendron neon! That's a fantastic choice. The Philodendron neon is known for its vibrant, electric-green leaves. It's a real eye-catcher! Here are some care tips for your Philodendron neon:

1. Lighting: Place your Philodendron neon in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but brighter light will help it thrive and maintain its bright color.

2. Watering: Water your Philodendron neon when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be careful not to overwater, as it can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

3. Humidity: Philodendron neon enjoys higher humidity levels, but it can adapt to average household humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water nearby.

4. Temperature: Keep your Philodendron neon in a room with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Plant your Philodendron neon in well-draining soil. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your Philodendron neon with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the winter months.

7. Pruning: Prune your Philodendron neon to remove any dead or yellowing leaves. You can also trim it to shape or encourage bushier growth.

Remember to keep an eye out for common houseplant pests and take appropriate measures if you notice any infestation. Enjoy the vibrant beauty of your Philodendron neon! 🌿💚
