Philodendron Moonlight

Philodendron 'Moonlight'

philodendron moonlight

Also known as: Moonlight Philodendron, Lime Philodendron, Neon Philodendron

Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, Philodendron Moonlight is one of the most cheerful and easy-going houseplants you can own. Its heart-shaped leaves emerge in a bright, almost glowing chartreuse yellow before slowly deepening into a rich lime green as they mature — creating a constantly changing, luminous display unlike most other philodendrons. Unlike its climbing cousins, Moonlight grows upright in a compact, bushy clump that fits perfectly on a tabletop or shelf. A natural air purifier and a joy to grow.

plant tips

water
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — water thoroughly and let the excess drain out completely. Water more often in spring and summer and reduce in fall and winter.
light
Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. An east-facing window is ideal — too much direct sun can scorch the leaves and cause the vibrant color to fade.
zone
Houseplant.
size
Grows 20–24 in. tall and 20–26 in. wide — compact, bushy, and perfectly sized for tabletops and shelves.

care

Place in a warm, humid spot with bright indirect light and keep away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry and mist leaves occasionally to boost humidity. Feed once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer. Remove any yellowing leaves and wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them looking their best year-round.
