Philodendron Florida Ghost

 

Philodendron Florida Ghost is a mutation of Philodendron Florida (whose parents are two excellent and easy-care species: Philodendron pedatum and Philodendron squamiferum). It’s relatively fast-growing and easy to care for, making it an excellent houseplant. We grow our Florida Ghost plants from cuttings here at Costa Farms.

Give your Florida Ghost Philodendron the royal treatment and watch it thrive!  This striking plant prefers a spot with medium to bright, indirect light.  Think within three feet of a good-sized east or west-facing window for optimal growth. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its growth will be noticeably slower and the color of the new growth may be darker.

Caring for your Florida Ghost is refreshingly simple thanks to its Wick & Grow self-watering system. Just replenish the reservoir as needed, being careful not to overfill past the top of the window at the base of the pot. This system helps prevent overwatering, a common issue for many houseplants.

This low-maintenance climber is perfectly happy with average household temperatures and humidity. However, like many tropical plants, it will truly flourish with a bit of extra humidity. Consider placing it near other plants.  While it's adaptable to typical home environments, a little extra care in this area will encourage more vigorous growth and those stunning, ghostly leaves. Now, sit back and enjoy the ever-changing beauty of your Florida Ghost!
