Houseplant Information
Houseplant Information
Your houseplant will come in a black plastic nursery pot. It will have holes at the bottom of the pot to allow for proper drainage when watered. We recommend changing the pot when your plant arrives if you plan to grow your plant indoors.
How We Ship Your Plants
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful! We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants!
Beware- not all plant nurseries are the same! Others can cut corners to save money:
- We never ship bareroot plants
- We never cut roots to fit into a small box
- We always ship plants with healthy, developed roots so they establish faster at your home
- We focus on plant health first- not minimizing shipping costs
A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, and we believe your plant should arrive ready to thrive- not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
How we Select Your Plants
Once you place your order, our nursery team selects your plant and inspects it to make sure it meets our quality standards. Every plant we ship is chosen for:
- Strong health and vibrant foliage
- A well-developed root system
- Correct sizing based on your order
We take pride in sending plants that are ready to succeed when they arrive at your home. We try our best to exceed your expectations!
Once your plants are selected, we give them a drink of water before their journey. Then, we wrap each plant's roots up in a plastic bag, so that they do not dry out during shipping.
Carefully Packed & Protected
Live plants can’t be packed like ordinary boxes, so we do it differently.
Your plant is carefully secured inside a strong shipping box to protect it while traveling. Packaging may include:
- Support materials for stability
- Protection around the pot and roots
- Reinforced boxing for added protection
For larger trees, we use oversize boxes designed to safely accommodate the size and structure of your plant during shipping.
Sometimes, you will receive multiple plants inside a box. This is helpful because it can evenly distribute the weight throughout the box, which helps keeps the plants safe and secure throughout delivery.
Fast & Reliable with FedEx
Most Nationwide Plants orders ship with FedEx. Over the years, we’ve found FedEx to be the best carrier for live plants, especially larger items, because:
- They deliver quickest across the country
- They are the most gentle with live plants
- Faster transit means less plant stress
Once your order ships, we will email you tracking information so you can follow your delivery from our nursery to your doorstep.
We ship Monday through Friday. Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom shipping date.
Multiple Nursery Locations
We ship from multiple locations across the country, including both the East Coast and West Coast. This allows us to:
- Deliver faster in more regions
- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- Ship large items more efficiently
How We Measure Your Trees
We measure tree height from the soil line, not including the pot.
That means when you order a 5-6 ft. tree, you’re getting a tree that is 5-6 ft. tall above the soil, not “including the container.” This gives you a good idea of what to expect when your trees arrive, and what they will look like when they are in the ground.
After Your Plants Arrive
It’s completely normal for a plant to look slightly different after shipping. Your plant has been traveling in a box, so you may notice:
- Minor leaf drop
- Soil that shifted slightly in the pot
- Temporary drooping from being in a darker environment
In most cases, your plant perks up quickly once it’s unboxed, watered (if needed), and placed in the proper environment.
Unboxing Your Plants
When your plants arrive, we recommend:
-
Open carefully (avoid cutting into foliage)
-
Remove all packing materials
-
Check soil moisture (If the soil feels dry, give it a thorough watering)
-
Let the plant recover (Give it a little fresh air after shipping)
If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re happy to help!
Our 30-Day Plant Promise
We stand behind every order we ship with our 30-Day Plant Promise.
If your plant dies within 30 days of delivery, we will replace it or refund it. We’ve found that if there are ever issues, they typically show up in the first 30 days- so this guarantee gives our customers real peace of mind.
If anything doesn’t look right, contact us and we’ll help you troubleshoot quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ship bare-root plants?
No. We ship in soil with an established root system for the best success after delivery.
How fast will my order ship?
Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom ship date.
Will my plant survive shipping?
Yes. Plants are resilient when packed correctly and shipped quickly. Our process is designed to protect your plant throughout transit.
What if my plant arrives droopy?
This is usually temporary from being in a dark box. Unbox promptly, check moisture, and allow time to adjust. If you’re concerned, reach out—we’re here to help.

Cordatum Neon Philodendron – Vibrant & Easy-Care Houseplant
The Cordatum Neon Philodendron is the kind of plant that instantly catches the eye. Its glowing chartreuse-yellow leaves bring brightness to any space, whether it’s hanging in a basket, trailing from a shelf, or climbing up a trellis. Unlike traditional green philodendrons, this variety stands out with its neon-like foliage, making it a great choice if you’re looking for something a little more vibrant.
What Makes Cordatum Neon Philodendron Special?
Philodendron hederaceum ‘Neon’ is a unique twist on the classic heartleaf philodendron. While its cousin has deep green leaves, the Neon variety shines with electric lime-green foliage that looks almost illuminated. The color shifts depending on light conditions—brighter light makes the yellow tones pop, while lower light creates a deeper chartreuse shade.
It’s a trailing or climbing plant, meaning you can let it cascade down from a high shelf or train it to climb a moss pole for a vertical statement. And the best part? It’s low-maintenance, making it perfect for both beginner plant parents and experienced collectors looking to add something unique to their collection.
How the Cordatum Neon Philodendron Fits Into Your Space
This philodendron is versatile, which means you can style it in different ways depending on the look you’re going for.
- Draping Elegance: Let it trail down from a macrame hanger or a bookshelf, adding a pop of color to neutral-toned decor.
- Lush Green Wall: Train it onto a trellis or moss pole to create a vertical green accent.
- Bright Workspaces: Place it on a desk or shelf to liven up an office or home workspace.
Because of its non-toxic sap (compared to some other philodendrons), it’s a better option for homes with pets—though it’s still best to keep it out of reach of curious nibblers.
Why Choose the Cordatum Neon Over Other Philodendrons?
With so many philodendron varieties, what makes this one stand out?
- Vibrant Color – The striking neon-yellow leaves are uncommon in houseplants, making this one a true statement piece.
- Low Maintenance – Like most heartleaf philodendrons, this one tolerates lower light, bounces back from occasional missed waterings, and doesn’t require special care.
- Fast Growing – You won’t have to wait long to see results—this plant grows quickly and fills out beautifully.
- Adaptable to Different Spaces – Whether trailing, climbing, or potted as a compact plant, it fits your spacehowever you want.
Care Guide: Keeping Your Neon Philodendron Happy
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light, but also adapts to lower light conditions. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, so make sure it’s in a pot with drainage holes.
Humidity & Temperature
Prefers moderate to high humidity, but adapts to average household levels. Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C).
Soil
A well-draining, peat-based mix works best. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark encourages strong root growth.
Fertilizer
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength) once a month during spring and summer.
Fun Facts About the Cordatum Neon Philodendron
The name Philodendron comes from Greek words meaning “love” (philo) and “tree” (dendron), referencing its natural tendency to climb trees in the wild.
The Neon variety is a natural mutation of the classic green Philodendron cordatum.
This plant is easy to propagate—simply take a stem cutting with a few leaves and place it in water or soil.
It’s an excellent air purifier, helping remove toxins like formaldehyde from indoor air.
