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.

Great fit, excellent material. Will buy more!
Color: Cobalt Heather, Size: Small
Great quarter zip comparable to the high end designer brands. Buttery material, well fitted. Runs a bit big so I sized down and it’s a perfect trim cut fit. Will buy other colors. Would like to see some patterns in addition to the solid colors. I’m 5’10” 165lbs and small size fits perfectly.

Perfect for the gym!
Color: Cobalt Heather, Size: XX-Large
I bought 2 (black and blue) and wear them to the gym weekly. They wash & dry very well! They are nice enough for casual wear too. I’ll probably buy a 3rd color soon!

Good quality
Size: XX-Large, Color: Dark Green Melange
I love these quarter-zip pullovers. I bought this one as a gift, but I personally own two others myself, which should say a lot. They’re comfortable, lightweight, and extremely versatile. I wear mine for golf, casual office days, and layered when it’s cooler out—they pair well with just about anything. For the price point, they really can’t be beat. The look and feel are comparable to options that cost significantly more. Great value, great performance, and a sharp, clean style. I’ll likely keep buying more.

Nice golf pullover
Size: XX-Large, Color: Colony Blue Melange
Nice pullover 1/4 zip. Quality is pretty decent, the color and fit is really good. Leaves good flex room in the shoulders. The material isn’t to heavy and can be worn with a vest if needed. The only thing about the fit is the sleeve length. I wear in a dress shirt 35”-36” length and this hangs past my thumb.
