Light: Medium
Light: Medium
Philodendron Moonlight thrives in medium light conditions, but it will experience accelerated growth when exposed to brighter light. A suitable medium-light location within your home could be positioned centrally in a room with a standard-sized window. It's important to keep in mind that the growth rate of plants directly correlates with the amount of light they receive.
Sun: Indirect
Sun: Indirect
Avoid placing Philodendron Moonlight where direct sunlight reaches them, as it can be too harsh. Instead, opt for filtered sunlight, which can be achieved by positioning them near a sheer curtain. Most homes naturally provide indirect sunlight, which is ideal for these plants. The optimal location is where they receive bright, indirect light for most of the day without direct exposure to the sun.
Water: When Half Dry
Water: When Half Dry
Water your Philodendron Moonlight when the top half of the soil feels dry to the touch, typically occurring every week in a standard indoor setting. However, this frequency might fluctuate depending on seasonal changes, your specific environment, and lighting conditions. To avoid overwatering, it's advisable to err on the side of caution and check the soil moisture before watering again.
Humidity: Medium

In moderate humidity conditions, Philodendron Moonlight will thrive, but it will benefit from slightly increased humidity levels. Consider misting the foliage every few days or using a humidifier to provide the extra moisture it enjoys.
Pet Friendly: Caution
Pet Friendly: Caution
Philodendron Moonlight possesses a moderate level of toxicity and may induce adverse reactions if ingested, therefore it is advisable to prevent pets from accessing it, a precaution that applies to plants in general. The extent of the reaction can vary depending on the quantity consumed. However, if your pet typically avoids consuming plants, this particular species should be safe to have in your home.
Pro Tip
Pro Tip
If your plant starts to stretch out too much, it's time for a trim. Cut back the leggy growth and place those cuttings in water, making sure there's a node submerged to encourage root growth. Move your plant to a brighter spot to prevent further elongation. Once the cuttings have rooted, replant them in the original pot to rejuvenate your plant and promote denser growth.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?
When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!
MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.
Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.
No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
