Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost'
Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ is a highly loved collector aroid known for new leaves that emerge pale cream to ghostly white before slowly maturing into shades of mint and green. Its deeply lobed foliage becomes more dramatic as the plant climbs, making it a beautiful choice for moss poles, trellises, and tropical indoor displays. This plant is believed to come from the Florida philodendron hybrid group, with traits connected to Philodendron pedatum and Philodendron squamiferum.
🌞 Light
Bright, indirect light is best. More light helps encourage the pale ghostly new growth, but avoid harsh direct sun that can burn the leaves.
💧 Watering
Water when the top portion of soil begins to dry. Keep the plant lightly moist, but never soggy.
🕳️ Soil
Use a chunky, airy aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and quality potting soil.
🧪 Fertilizing
Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
🪴 Repotting
Repot when roots fill the pot. Give it a moss pole or support to encourage larger, more mature leaves.
