Philodendron ‘Moonlight’ is a vibrant hybrid variety loved for its striking lime-green to yellow new leaves that mature into bright green. Compact and bushy in growth, it makes an eye-catching indoor plant that adds a bold pop of color to any space. Unlike climbing philodendrons, Moonlight grows low and dense, making it perfect for tabletops or as a decorative floor plant.
