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.

Pleasant lavender smell, great moisturizing
I used this balm on flaky patches on my skin, it cleared it up within a few days. It has a pleasant lavender smell, not overpowering.

Great on body not my face!
I use it everywhere else besides my face because when I put it on my face even if it's just a little it causes acne and I do not get acne. Great on feet and elbows and knees or any tattoos you may have. Smells fine to me and it's not whipped so it is solid a true self kind of hard you have to work it into your fingers and melt it with the warmth of your hands.

Lovely product!
I was so happy to find a tallow salve for so cheap! I love that the ingredient list is VERY small. Just tallow, olive oil, beeswax, honey, and lavender essential oil. Tallow salve/balm is the only moisturizer I can use on my face that doesn't clog my pores and actually makes my face soft and hydrated. The scent is also not overwhelming, just a delicate hint of lavender. It's not whipped as the picture may lead you to think, but not a hard salve, so it's easy to get out and apply.

Doesn’t absorb
Whipped texture sits on the skin and doesn’t absorb. I love tallow balms but didn’t like this one at all.

Changed my life
Amazing product ,changed my life . I’m an electrician and my fingers were litterally were splitting in half and never could heal . I wear gloves , but it still would rub through after numerous years / can’t wear gloves always because lack of dexterity. I had tried everything balm / liquid bandaid / medicine for them . A mechanic is who told me about it. My fingers are completely different now. I will use this until I die, but it is so worth it for anyone’s who hands split and dry from any products because of the chemicals .
