Florida Ghost Philodendron
Florida Ghost Philodendron | Florida Ghost | White Ghost | Philodendron 'Florida Ghost'
The Florida Ghost Philodendron is a stunning, highly sought-after aroid known for its dramatic, color-shifting foliage. Its deeply lobed leaves emerge as a ghostly white or creamy mint, gradually speckled with green, before finally maturing to a rich, dark emerald. This climbing beauty features distinctively textured red petioles and adds a dynamic, tropical touch to any indoor jungle. It is prized by collectors for the unique, ever-changing contrast of its multi-colored canopy.
Growing Florida Ghost Philodendron
- Light: Requires bright, indirect light to maintain the white coloration. Lower light levels will cause new leaves to emerge green or fade too quickly.
- Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix rich in orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss.
- Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings; consistent moisture is good, but soggy soil must be avoided.
- Maintenance: Provide a moss pole or trellis to support its climbing habit, which encourages larger leaf growth.
- Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested; keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
- Hardiness: USDA zones 9b–11; best grown as a houseplant in most climates.
Shipping Info
Florida Ghost Philodendron plants are shipped in 4" nursery pots. The plants can be re-potted after they recover from shipping stress, approximately 1 to 2 weeks.
