✅ Care Guide for Philodendron Moonshine

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its soft tones
Low light may dull its unique coloring
Avoid direct sunlight—it can fade or burn the delicate new leaves

Watering:
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
Likes lightly moist soil—never soggy or bone dry
Reduce watering slightly in winter months

Temperature:
Ideal between 18°C and 30°C
Not frost-tolerant—protect from cold air or sudden temperature drops

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate humidity (40–60%)
Benefits from regular misting or placement near a humidifier
Avoid extremely dry air, which may crisp leaf edges

Soil:
Use a loose, airy mix: cocopeat + compost + perlite + bark
Drainage is essential—Moonshine dislikes waterlogged roots

Fertilizer:
Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer
Use a mild or diluted feed to avoid fertilizer burn on tender leaves
Skip fertilizing during dormant months

Maintenance:
• Gently wipe leaves with a soft cloth to keep them luminous
• Remove faded or damaged leaves from the base
• Repot every 1.5–2 years or when rootbound
• Rotate occasionally for even growth and color distribution

✅ Common Problems
• Dull or faded color: Usually from insufficient light—move to a brighter spot
• Brown edges: Caused by dry air or inconsistent watering
• Mushy stems: A result of overwatering or poor drainage
• Pests like aphids or thrips are rare—check undersides during watering
