Hi everyone. I bought a few plants today and I have some questions. The first one is about this philodendron. Is this a moonlight philodendron? The second question is about placing it: I have a south facing window about 90 inches wide and 6 feet tall. The room is about a 16'x20' in size. It is quite bright in the room and light bounces in the white walls. Can I place the philodendron about 10 feet from the window so it gets brightness but no sun? The third question is: does anybody grow it in leca (the clay balls)? Thank you!

BEAUTIFUL plant. Yes that’s a Moonlight Philodendron! And yes that’s a good place to position this plant. Since it will burn in direct sunlight. Unfortunately I have no advice for growing it in leca. I have mine in soil.

Thank you. I am tempted to leave in soil gor now since it looks good and maybe transition it to leca in spring.
