    Philodendron Florida Ghost

    Botanical Name: Philodendron hybrid of P. squamiferum and P. pedatum
    Common Name(s): Florida Ghost Philodendron

    The Philodendron Florida Ghost is a rare and eye-catching variety of philodendron admired for its uniquely shaped leaves and ever-changing coloration. Being a tropical hybrid, this plant features deeply lobed, ghost-like foliage that emerges a pale, creamy white, hence the name “Ghost”, and gradually matures into light mint green, then deep forest green. The dramatic contrast between its juvenile and mature leaves, along with the plant’s climbing growth habit, gives it a bold, sculptural presence ideal for modern indoor spaces.

    The Florida Ghost is a vigorous grower when provided with the right conditions. It climbs readily and benefits from vertical support like a moss pole or trellis to encourage larger, more mature leaf development. Its long, slender stems and uniquely lobed leaves make it a standout in any indoor plant collection. With time and proper care, this hybrid can become a striking centerpiece in homes, offices, or conservatories.

    This Philodendron thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain the pale coloration of new leaves. In lower light conditions, leaf color may darken more quickly and growth may slow. For best results, provide a warm, humid environment and well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Water the plant when the top 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ideal temperatures range between 65–85°F (18–29°C) with humidity levels above 50% for optimal growth.

    Air Purifying Qualities:

    • Toxin Removal: The Florida Ghost helps filter indoor air by removing common household toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene, improving indoor air quality.

    • Oxygen Production: Like many philodendrons, it contributes to increased oxygen levels by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen during photosynthesis.

    • Humidity Regulation: Through transpiration, it releases moisture into the air, slightly boosting humidity—especially beneficial in dry indoor climates.

    Note: The Philodendron Florida Ghost is toxic to pets, including cats and dogs, if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and other symptoms, so keep it out of reach of pets.

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid prolong exposure to low light as low light slows its growth and color change as the plant matures. Do avoid direct sunlight. 

    Water

    Water weekly: Water when the top soil are dry, typically every 7-10 days. Reduce watering in winter and ensure the pot has drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid overwatering. 

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: Thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C) and high humidity at all times.

      1. Fertilize regularly: Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4 weeks during the spring and summer season.
      2. Monitor for pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
      3. Avoid Cold Drafts: This Philodendron prefers warm, consistent temperature. Avoid sudden reduced temperatures changes. 
      4. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as peat-based or general houseplant mix, and select a pot that’s just 1-2 inches larger than the current one.
      5. Simplified Care Routine: This Philodendron is a rare delicacy and does not require overly complex care routines. Complications, such as overwatering and not enough light, can affect the plant and stunt its growth.
