Growhappy,
Could be MOONGLO, does the new leaf stars very yellow???????
Will sent you a pic of mine, later.
Don't think is CONGO GREEN as your leaves don't look leatherly enough.

I think I've got the same thing that I got at my Lowes. I also have Moonlight and the leaves on this one are not as large or as yellow as on Moonlight. Is there another called Moonglow?

Moonglo and Moonglow, I think are the same
Here is my MOONGLO

Thanks Armando! I note that the stems on your Moonglo look like they have a reddish tinge to them. I'm going to go check mine, but I don't think mine have that reddish tinge. The color and form do look like your plants. I'll check in a little later after I go visit the plant!

philodendron tuxula most likely.

The P. TUXLA (proper spelling ) has solid pinkish color leaf underside.
If you need proof I can supply a photo.

Armando you are correct most the plant you have is tuxla. I have grown them out from seeds and their are both ones with light colorings under the leaves and some with no colorings at all. The form that seemed to be Tissue cultured was a all green form. It may have been ogalsby TC lab or something similar. From what I saw the plants looked exactly like this.

I have selected a few seedlings out of the thousands I have grown with extremely dark colorations under the leaves here is a photo of me comparing the green back forms to the darker pink to red forms.
