Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light ensures the best color and growth. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Soil: Use a well‑draining, nutrient‑rich potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark improves aeration and prevents waterlogging.
Temperature: Prefers indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity promotes lush growth. A humidity tray or occasional misting can help in drier environments.
Pet Safety
Philodendron ‘Moonlight’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children. Ingestion can cause oral irritation, swelling, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
