About Philodendron Lemon Lime
Philodendron 'Lemon Lime' boasts delightful bright yellow foliage. 💛 Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their heart-shaped leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

How to fertilize Philodendron Lemon Lime
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Philodendron Lemon Lime after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

I don’t know if it is drying or if it need more light. It’s been a few months that I’ve put it in this spot, maybe I need to change it… What do you think?

Mold on my ‘lemon lime’??? Is this mold? Im not sure what I’ve done wrong, I hardly water it as it is winter in the UK and it sits in a north facing window. The soil has been damp for a while now so I haven’t watered in a month or two. It’s only felt dry today so I’ve watered it and noticed this. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #LemonLimePrayerPlant

Hello my plant parents! Quick update if you have seen my other posts about my lemon lime heart leaf I found out the reason! I looked at the soil in the plant and found out there were no roots!? But now she is THRIVING and hopefully I will get her planted soon enough and I will be ready for pruning and propagation!

My neon heartleaf just looks like it’s not thriving a lot and looks like it’s dying slowly. Can someone please explain what’s going on? I’m new to this plant! #Philodendron

I just got this plant last week in the mail. It came with the yellowing and brown leaves. What can I do to help remedy it? #Philodendron

Another plant I brought back from almost immanent death. My Lemon Lime philodendron! Sprite was an impulse but at a local nursery, but he came home with bugs over three years ago. Almost completely killed him, but he’s finally perked back up! I only water my plants with distilled water and I use a powder plant food I found on Amazon called “Big Green Leaves”, and I only water when the soil is almost 100% dry! #Philodendron #lemonlimephilodendron #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
