Philodendron 'Moonlight'

Philodendron Moonlight 🌕🌿 is loved for its glowing chartreuse new leaves and full upright shape, which make it an easy way to brighten up a shelf, desk, or plant stand. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the color stays strongest and the plant keeps a neat, bushy look without needing a pole. This is a generally easy plant that handles average indoor care well, as long as it is not left sitting in soggy soil. Pro tip: if the bright color starts fading or the growth looks smaller, move it a little closer to brighter light and let the top layer of soil dry before watering again 💧.
