Description Image Info Sustainability

Philodendron scandens 'Neon' brings vibrant freshness to any home. With its heart-shaped, intensely lime-green leaves, it is a real eye-catcher in any urban jungle. This easy-care climbing and trailing plant originates from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America and is ideal for beginners as well as collectors.

Characteristics:

The characteristic heart-shaped leaves of this Philodendron appear in a strikingly bright, almost neon-yellow-green color. Its growth is climbing or hanging, with flexible shoots that can easily attach to climbing aids or hang freely in pots. Particularly in group plantings or modern interiors, this variety reveals its full decorative effect.

Care Instructions:

Light: Bright to semi-shade – without direct sunlight, with good light the brightness remains particularly intense
Water: Water moderately, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly in between
Humidity: Average to high – tolerates dry indoor air, but grows stronger with higher humidity
Fertilizer: In spring and summer 1-2 times per month with a diluted green plant fertilizer
Temperature: Optimal at 18-26 °C, never below 15 °C

Note: A very robust variety with striking coloration – ideal for accentuation. Easily propagated by stem cuttings. Regular pruning encourages a denser growth.

Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.

Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.

Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.

In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.

Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
