Got this little baby over a week ago and he is doing well. I am afraid to water him or move him :-(

Is this a neon? Or is that just the color? Idk much about neons but I would replace that soil/add perlite or at least check inside the pot to see how it’s doing. The soil looks v dry it needs to be watered soon I’m guessing

this is a philodendron brasil, not neon :)

Looks like it needs water. If you are pulling it out of the pot to water let it drain well before you put it back. I’m guessing the black pot doesn’t have a hole.
