Philodendron 'Moonlight'
Philodendron 'Moonlight' is a self-heading interspecific Philodendron hybrid with faintly yellow to lime-green new leaves that mature into softer green. It grows from a short central crown, creating a full rosette of glossy, ovate leaves. The brightest colour appears on fresh growth, while older leaves build the greener base around it.
Philodendron 'Moonlight' belongs to the self-heading hybrids associated with R.H. McColley’s Bamboo Nursery programme in Apopka, Florida.
- Growth habit: Self-heading rosette with a short central stem and a compact, pot-filling shape.
- Leaf colour: New leaves open faintly yellow to lime-green before maturing to a softer green.
- Leaf shape: Glossy ovate leaves with a smooth surface and firm texture.
- Provenance: Associated with the McColley/Bamboo Nursery self-heading Philodendron breeding line.
McColley-line rosette growth
Philodendron 'Moonlight' develops from a short central stem with leaves arranged closely around the crown. Turning the pot occasionally helps the rosette grow more evenly when light comes from one direction.
New foliage carries the strongest yellow-green tone, then older leaves settle into greener shades as they harden.
Light and watering for Moonlight
- Light: Place in bright filtered light to support strong new leaves and compact crown growth. Direct midday sun can scorch the glossy surface.
- Watering: Water when the top 3–4 cm of substrate are dry. Keep the crown dry and avoid water sitting in the leaf bases.
- Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-retentive component that still drains freely.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity is usually enough, though very dry air can roughen new leaf edges.
- Temperature: Keep it between 18–28°C. Growth slows in cooler conditions, especially if the substrate stays wet.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Too much fertiliser can mark leaf edges and stress the roots.
- Maintenance: Remove old damaged leaves at the base and keep the crown open enough for airflow.
Yellow leaves, stretched growth and pest signs
- Soft yellow leaves low on the plant: Check watering frequency and drainage. A wet crown can decline quickly.
- Brown sunken patches: Check for direct sun, heat stress, or water droplets sitting on young leaves in strong light.
- Loose, stretched growth: Check light direction and intensity. A healthy plant should build a fairly full rosette.
- Distorted new leaves: Inspect the crown and fresh growth for thrips, which often show first on pale young leaves.
Safety information
Philodendron 'Moonlight' is toxic if chewed. Its tissues contain calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, digestive tract, and skin. Keep the plant out of reach of pets and children, and wash your hands after pruning or removing damaged leaves.
Family and cultivar background
Philodendron belongs to the Araceae family and is native from Mexico through tropical America. Philodendron 'Moonlight' is part of a self-heading Philodendron hybrid line known for compact crown growth and pale yellow-green new leaves.
Philodendron 'Moonlight' forms a bright compact rosette with yellow-green new growth and glossy ovate leaves.

Insider's Book
Format: Paperback
Wlater R. Fisher is an expert in his field. His grasp of classical theory is daunting. Human Communication as Narrative explains his new theory well. However, it IS an insider's book, intended for scholars. I have a master's degree in rhetoric and composition, and my progress through it was slow--however, this was more attributable to my having stopped at an MA than it was to Fisher. I found his theory exhaustively researched, skillfully and thoughfully developed, and eminently applicable to the practice of contemporary rhetorical study. I would regard this book as a must-have for any serious student of rhetoric.

I'm a fan of the Narrative Paradigm, and this is the seminal work on that. Not only will this give you a great overview/introduction, but Fisher is a good writer as well. Very clear, succinct, and engaging.

The Dark Roots of Liberalism
Format: Hardcover
Italian philosopher/intellectual history Domenico Losurdo's study of the origins of liberalism is a tour de force of thorough scholarship and rigorous critique. Losurdo seems to have read all of the collected works of all of the significant thinkers in the liberal tradition, from Locke to de Tocqueville and beyond, and has created a coherent and compelling narrative of their themes and variations, as well as their rhetorical tropes and myriad contradictions.
Classical liberalism, as here presented, is an attempt to translate the world, in all its richness and mystery, into property, and to transform property into the fullest expression of both nature and nature's God. It involves fetishizing "liberty" and disdaining equality, which is seen -- correctly -- as potentially compromising the God-given prerogatives of property holders.
Losurdo's liberals divide the world into the "community of the free" -- always a minority -- and the servile majority. These masses do not deserve liberty or political participation because they perceive government as a way to address human suffering, and not simply as a bulwark protecting the divine rights of capital, i.e. the "private" realm. The classical liberal sees government as good to the extent that it has no social function at all -- because poverty and radical inequity are understood not as the outcome of human social and political arrangements, but as a reflection of immutable natural law and simple human frailty. Social Darwinist and eugenic motifs float through the Liberal symphony almost from the beginning, supplanting without really changing the earlier Protestant notion of predestination, but shifting the location of eternal reward or damnation to the marketplace and workplace.
Thus liberalism sides against social emancipation, whether of slaves or peasants or factory laborers. The job of workers within a liberal commonwealth, as depicted by most of these thinkers, is to embrace their freedom to starve and cherish the institutions that oppress them in the sweet and holy name of Liberty. Slavery makes many of these thinkers uneasy, but it is not as profoundly disturbing to them as the prospect of central government tampering with the sacred rights of property holders by abolishing an institution that makes a mockery of any concept of human liberty.
It is the radical thinkers of the French Revolution, and those influenced by them, who come out favorably here -- the ones who believe that the community must be seen as one body, and that freedom and dignity belong to all, without exception. Losurdo reminds us that it was not classical liberals who abolished slavery -- it was the Black Jacobins who brought the Rights of Man to the subjugated Africans of Haiti in history's only successful slave rebellion (at least since Moses). They were supported by the religiously inspired abolitionists, who saw slavery in moral rather than capitalist terms.
Losurdo shows that liberalism took on the despotism of Church and Crown, only to create a harsher and colder absolutism of Money and Market, wrapped up in the rhetoric of Reason and tied with the ribbon of Freedom. And though classical liberalism has mutated over time and allowed the community of the free to expand somewhat, its fundamental biases remain in place, as witnessed in every ding-dong attack against "big government" or the "nanny state." Losurdo's "counter-history" of liberalism places these tediously reflexive political gambits in historical context, showing that they are rooted in a vision of the state as a kind of gated community, serving those within the threshold of privilege, suppressing those on the outside.
At a time when political discourse centers on the percentages of the included and excluded, the worthy and the unworthy -- Occupy Wall Street's 1 percent and 99 percent, Mitt Romney's 47 percent (which was also his percentage of the vote) -- Losurdo's study is highly relevant and enlightening. It underscores the deep tensions between classical liberalism -- with its governance by and for the elite, and passive citizenship for the rest -- and the ideals of participatory and inclusive democracy, i.e., social democracy. It is an important book, and I recommend it to everyone with an interest in the history of political theory, and a desire to understand why our own political processes seem to take place in an abstract realm so cosmically distant from the reality of everyday life.

A brilliant reassessment of Western intellectual history
Format: Kindle
"Liberalism: A Counter History" by Domenico Losurdo offers a brilliant reassessment of Western intellectual history. Dr. Losurdo is a leading Italian intellectual who has taught at university for many decades. Dr. Losurdo's book will interest readers desiring bold, thoughtful and compelling perspectives on U.S. and European history; with insights that may be very useful to us today.
More than anything else, Dr. Losurdo's work articulates a highly original and powerful critique of the ideology of capitalist property relations. Diving into the writings of John Locke, Adam Smith, Bernard de Mandeville and other influential Enlightenment thinkers, Dr. Losurdo explains that the principle goal of liberalism (used here in the European sense of the word) was to secure the rights of property holders over the poor; without the meddlesome interference of church and monarchy.
Readers who are accustomed to viewing U.S. history through rose-colored glasses will find their views severely challenged here. Dr. Losurdo persuasively argues that Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and other revolutionaries enthusiastically embraced liberal ideology in order to help institutionalize its brutal slave economy. Put another way, it seems that Independence was ultimately about the prerogatives of the elite class who comprised the "community of the free" to buy, sell and own slaves. Dr. Losurdo goes on to explain how Americans put philosophy into service to justify Anglo-Saxon racial superiority and the violent dispossession of native peoples' lands.
Dr. Losurdo discusses how liberalism has influenced world history since the American Revolution. Through Dr. Losurdo's scholarship, we gain appreciation for the inherent tension that exists between liberalism's `emancipation' of the people who are privileged by virtue of their race and class; versus the `dis-emancipation' of the working class and poor who are comprised mostly of people of color. So, while liberals' greatest proponents have tended to use violence to lock in elite privilege (colonialism, the U.S. Civil War, the two World Wars), radicals have often struggled in the name of freedom for the people (the Haitian Revolution and the French Revolution).
Importantly, Dr. Losurdo challenges us to rethink the idea that progress is a natural by-product of liberalism. It is probably more accurate to say that liberals would be content to have the people live in misery; and that freedoms have been gained by ordinary people through struggle and collective action. The importance of this insight cannot be overstated. By compelling us to think anew about the liberal legacy, we can more easily detect the liberal apologists who pander for the one percent; while empowering the 99 percent of us to speak truth to power.
I highly recommend this outstanding book to everyone.

Excellent critical history
Format: Kindle
A very thorough and important work, astute view and scope of a history of a philosophy and its most sweeping consequences in the modern era. However, this also tends to be postcolonialism in a nutshell and is, from that view, an argument that goes back to at least the 1950s in academia and further if you're looking for straight up anticolonial voices of the past. Also I don't like the way the author cites sources, often giving the reader no clue as to the specific primary source being referenced, instead referencing an entire volume or a generic secondary source. Lastly, the book falls a little short as an interrogation of the marketplace itself.
