Philodendron florida ghost 10.5cm

👻 Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’

Creamy New Growth. Freaky Leaf Shape. Collector Classic.

The Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ isn’t just another fancy hybrid — it’s a straight-up apparition. With pale, almost white new leaves that slowly fade to minty green and then deep forest, this climbing aroid lives up to its name. Add in lobed, winged leaves and red-toned petioles, and you’ve got a plant that looks like it belongs in a haunted rainforest art gallery.

✨ Why You’ll Love It

• Shape + Shade: Unique multi-lobed leaves that change colour as they age = living sculpture.

• Climbing Habit: Loves a moss pole or plank. Grow it up for bigger, weirder foliage.

• Obscure But Iconic: Highly sought-after and still surprisingly under the radar.

🌱 Care Deets

Light:
Bright, indirect light to keep those new leaves ghostly pale. Lower light = greener growth.

Water:
Let the top few centimetres of soil dry before watering. Prefers even moisture but not soggy roots.

Humidity:
60%+ is ideal. Low humidity can stunt new leaves or cause browning.

Soil:
A chunky, well-draining mix — orchid bark, perlite, and coir work beautifully.

Feeding:
Feed monthly during growing season with a balanced fertiliser. Pale leaves still need energy!
