Philodendron 'Moonshine'

Philodendron 'Moonshine' produces new leaves in a bright, neon lime-yellow that gradually deepens toward green as they mature, giving well-lit plants a distinctive glowing canopy. Its smooth, elongated leaves emerge upright before arching gracefully outward, and the strongest colour is held under bright, indirect light. As a self-heading, non-climbing grower it needs no support and stays a manageable size, making it a good colour accent for a bright windowsill without demanding the space of larger Philodendron hybrids.
