Moonlight Philodendron

Moonlight Philodendron in Small Pot available in Jupiter, FL

Bright, bold, and practically glowing—the Moonlight Philodendron (Philodendron ‘Moonlight’) is a compact tropical beauty known for its vibrant chartreuse leaves and low, bushy form. Unlike trailing philodendrons, Moonlight grows upright, making it perfect for tabletops, plant stands, or sunny indoor corners. This small pot size is ideal for home placement, bringing a pop of color and tropical vibes without taking up much space.

It’s cheerful, hardy, and perfectly suited for indoor life in South Florida homes.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida Indoor Conditions):

• Sunlight: Bright, indirect light indoors. Tolerates some shade but thrives with filtered light—avoid direct sun.

• Watering: Moderate. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Avoid letting it sit in water.

• Soil: Light, airy, well-draining potting mix. An aroid blend or houseplant mix with perlite and coco coir works beautifully.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during growing season with a balanced indoor plant fertilizer.

• Growth Habit: Clumping, upright growth with wide, oval-shaped neon green leaves. Stays compact—typically 1–2 feet tall and wide indoors.

• Temperature: Loves typical indoor temps and South Florida humidity. Keep above 55°F.

• Maintenance: Very low. Just rotate occasionally for even light exposure and wipe leaves to keep them shiny.

Foliage & Growth Notes:
New leaves emerge an electric yellow-green and gradually mellow into a limey glow, giving the plant a radiant, moonlit look all year.

Medicinal & Nutritional Benefits:
Not edible or medicinal. Like many philodendrons, it’s considered mildly toxic if ingested—keep out of reach of pets and small children. However, it’s an excellent air purifier that removes common indoor toxins.
