Philodendron 'Moonlight'
Philodendron 'Moonlight' is a self-heading interspecific Philodendron hybrid with faintly yellow to lime-green new leaves that mature into softer green. It grows from a short central crown, creating a full rosette of glossy, ovate leaves. The brightest colour appears on fresh growth, while older leaves build the greener base around it.
Philodendron 'Moonlight' belongs to the self-heading hybrids associated with R.H. McColley’s Bamboo Nursery programme in Apopka, Florida.
- Growth habit: Self-heading rosette with a short central stem and a compact, pot-filling shape.
- Leaf colour: New leaves open faintly yellow to lime-green before maturing to a softer green.
- Leaf shape: Glossy ovate leaves with a smooth surface and firm texture.
- Provenance: Associated with the McColley/Bamboo Nursery self-heading Philodendron breeding line.
McColley-line rosette growth
Philodendron 'Moonlight' develops from a short central stem with leaves arranged closely around the crown. Turning the pot occasionally helps the rosette grow more evenly when light comes from one direction.
New foliage carries the strongest yellow-green tone, then older leaves settle into greener shades as they harden.
Light and watering for Moonlight
- Light: Place in bright filtered light to support strong new leaves and compact crown growth. Direct midday sun can scorch the glossy surface.
- Watering: Water when the top 3–4 cm of substrate are dry. Keep the crown dry and avoid water sitting in the leaf bases.
- Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-retentive component that still drains freely.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity is usually enough, though very dry air can roughen new leaf edges.
- Temperature: Keep it between 18–28°C. Growth slows in cooler conditions, especially if the substrate stays wet.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Too much fertiliser can mark leaf edges and stress the roots.
- Maintenance: Remove old damaged leaves at the base and keep the crown open enough for airflow.
Yellow leaves, stretched growth and pest signs
- Soft yellow leaves low on the plant: Check watering frequency and drainage. A wet crown can decline quickly.
- Brown sunken patches: Check for direct sun, heat stress, or water droplets sitting on young leaves in strong light.
- Loose, stretched growth: Check light direction and intensity. A healthy plant should build a fairly full rosette.
- Distorted new leaves: Inspect the crown and fresh growth for thrips, which often show first on pale young leaves.
Safety information
Philodendron 'Moonlight' is toxic if chewed. Its tissues contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, digestive tract, and skin. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children, and wash your hands after pruning or removing damaged leaves.
Family and cultivar background
Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and is native from Mexico through tropical America. Philodendron 'Moonlight' is part of a self-heading Philodendron hybrid line known for compact crown growth and pale yellow-green new leaves.
Philodendron 'Moonlight' forms a bright compact rosette with yellow-green new growth and glossy ovate leaves.

Best self tanning mitt!
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt, Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
This self tanning mitt is perfect for applying the self tanner. It keeps your hands from getting streaky in between your fingers and the mitt is very soft so it feels like nothing when you apply the self tanning lotion. This sunless tanning mitt is so soft and doesn't absorb the product but applies it very evenly and effortlessly. There is a protective layer between the mitt and your hands so you won't get any lotion in your hands. I also used the latex gloves that come with the actual sunless tanner lotion as well for extra protection but honestly, I don't think I even needed them. The tanning mitt can be easily hand washed with soap and water and air dried after each use. I have never used two tanning mitts to apply self tanner before, but the self tanner came with one and I purchased a second one so I could try using two at once and I'll never go back to using just one, it's so much easier and quicker to apply the sunless tanner with two mitts. And if you are looking for a great sunless tanner, check out the sun labs self tanners that go with this mitt. I've never tried a better self tanner in my life, and believe me, I've tried them all. I would highly recommend this tanning mitt and the price is just right!

Four years going strong with this mitt
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
This is the absolute best sunless tanning mitt hands down and itnonly costs 6 bucks! I've used the St. Tropez mitt, the Fake Bake Flawless mitt, a few different generic ones and I stopped searching after I found the Sun Labs one. It applies the tanner evenly & smoothly and it feels great against my skin. It's a plush micro fiber material that's the perfect thickness so it doesn't absorb too much product or make application streaky. It truly is the best mitt one could ask for! I love that it's black so the tanner stains don't show and it has a thumb hole. It fits literally like a glove and doesn't twist around during application. I bought it in 2018 and have used it every time I've applied self tanner since. It's in almost as perfect condition as the day I got it. At this rate I may never need to replace it. It holds up so well to washing. I wet the mitt, apply a small amount of dish soap, lather & rinse then let it air dry and it's perfect again. It never loses it's softness or shape. I can't say enough good things about this mitt. It has proven to be one of my best little Amazon finds and will never use another tanning mitt as long as I have this one.

Amazing mitt!!
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt, Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
i’ve been self tanning for years and no other method has performed as well as this mitt has. it’s incredible. i’ve tried using my hands, which leaves them orange and my body streaky. i’ve used the tanning mitts that you can find at drug stores and at ULTA, and they always tend to rip on the sides after a few uses. although those ones left my tan not as streaky, they’re nothing compared to the sun laboratories mitts. they’re extremely soft and long lasting. i can use this mitt to apply any self tanner so evenly and streak free. i’ve never been more impressed with any other self tanning mitt than i am with this one. in just a few minutes this mitt gives me a smooth, flawless, bronzer finish. it’s distributed the same all over. i’ve even used this mitt to apply self tanner to my face and it works perfectly. i thought all mitts worked the same until i came across this one. the sun laboratories self tanner is incredible as well. these are by far the best combination i’ve ever used and i definitely recommend everyone to try, especially if you’re having a hard time finding a self tanner that performs well and applies evenly, while looking natural rather than artificial.

Good mit.
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
It's that time of year where you start to need a tan. Since I'm not out in the sun much I totally rely on fake and bake. I needed a mitt that would easily apply sunless tanner. The Smith is soft and it does help the product go on nicely. However if you apply too much sunless tanner to the MIT it will soak through and without you knowing it you will have bronze to Orange Palms so just make sure you wash your hands thoroughly. It is definitely not the best MIT in the world but it's also not the worst. I would in fact purchase this again. But remember with also painters you must exfoliate exfoliate and prep the skin before applying it otherwise you will come out looking like a bright orange Sun. That is from personal experience.

Awesome self tanning mitt!
Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt, Pattern Name: 1 Tanning Mitt
This self tanning lotion mitt is amazing! It works wonders when applying the self tanning lotion. It rubs all the product evenly into your skin. The mitt does not soak up the self tanner lotion like I was afraid it would. The mitt does not leave you with streaks or any imperfections. The self tanning mitt is also very soft and flexible which helps when applying product. The tanning mitt has almost a fleece, velvety, plush texture. VERY SOFT! Very easy to work with! I used a self tanning mitt and also tried applying self tanner with my bare hands, and with latex gloves and found the tanning mitt is the easiest to use and work with. Disposable gloves seemed impossible to work with and I felt like it wasn’t rubbing the product in easy but this mitt is a life savor! If you are a fan of self tanning products weather it’s a spray, lotion, mousse, you need to have a tanning mitt in your collection! You will thank me and the tanning people for this product! It’s truly AMAZING! The self tanning mitt comes with the Black mitt, and disposable gloves. I’ll definitely be using the tanning mitt when applying the sunlabs self tanning products!
