🌿 Philodendron Florida Ghost Care Guide

(The plant with hauntingly beautiful pale leaves!)

The Philodendron Florida Ghost is a rare climbing philodendron known for its ghostly white new leaves that slowly mature to mint green, then deep green. Its dramatic, multi-lobed leaves combined with the changing colors make it a collector’s favorite.


Care Requirements

☀️ Light

  • Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain the “ghost” effect (white leaves).

  • Too much direct sun → leaf burn.

  • Low light → fewer white leaves; more green growth.


💧 Watering

  • Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.

  • Likes slightly moist soil but hates soggy roots.

  • Overwatering causes yellow leaves and root rot.


💦 Humidity

  • Prefers 60–80% humidity, but adapts to 50%+.

  • Higher humidity encourages faster growth and prevents crispy edges.


🌡️ Temperature

  • Thrives at 18–27°C (65–80°F).

  • Protect from cold drafts; no lower than 15°C (59°F).


🌱 Soil Mix

  • Needs a chunky, well-draining aroid mix.

  • Suggested mix:

    • 40% orchid bark

    • 20% perlite

    • 20% sphagnum moss or coco chips

    • 10% charcoal

    • 10% high-quality potting mix or coco coir


🌸 Fertilizer

  • Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer.

  • Use a balanced (20-20-20) or aroid-specific liquid fertilizer, diluted to half strength


🔁 Repotting

  • Every 1–2 years or when roots are circling the pot.

  • Choose a pot with drainage holes.


🪴 Climbing Support

  • Likes to climb! Provide a moss pole, coco pole, or trellis for larger leaves and faster growth.
