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.

My go to brand
My go to brand. Other brands I have to reapply constantly and still have sunburn. I love this brand and the stick is even better for applying sunscreen. Very reliable without any mess!

Not fur Surfing or other Water Sports
I got this in a swag bag from a surfing contest. The stick is very dry...that's the only way I can explain how it feels. It certainly doesn't glide on like other face sticks. After one wave and ducking my face in the water, the product smeared off and ran into my eyes. My vision got blurry from that, and it was really hard to see the waves coming in. I won't be using this product ever again. I also looked at the EWG website, and this product was given a 6. For those new to EWG, that's not a good rating. You want like a 1 or 2.

Too little product for the price
I was surprised at how little product you get for the price. After only two weeks, the bar already broke in half, and there's not much left. Additionally, it leaves white streaks, so you'll need to rub it in after applying. I still like the fact that it's got clean organic ingredients. I won't by the bar again, but I will try the spray
