FAQ about Philodendron Lemon Lime:

• How to care for a Lemon Lime Plant? Lemon Lime Plants are easy to care for. Average household humidity suits them and they can survive in a wide range of lighting conditions. The #1 thing to remember: Don't overwater, which is the cause of most houseplant deaths.
• What’s the best watering routine for Philodendron Lemon Lime? You should allow the first 1-2 inches of soil to dry before rewatering your plant. Sadly, this doesn’t happen on a set schedule, so you should be flexible with your watering routine. Regularly check the soil’s moisture and water only when it is at the proper dryness level. With these plants, it’s best to err on the side of caution! They will easily recover from slight underwatering; whereas routine overwatering will cause root rot.
