‘Florida Ghost’

‘Florida Ghost’

Light Exposure :Philodendrons flourish with lots of bright, indirect light since it’s similar to growing in the understory of tropical forests. Your Florida ghost philodendron needs plenty of bright indirect sunlight to maintain its beautiful creamy-white color. Keep your plant somewhere it can receive at least six to eight hours of indirect light or supplement them with a grow light.

Watering:  The best way to water your plant is to let the top couple of inches of potting soil dry out and then water it until excess water runs out the drainage holes in the bottom of the container. Known as the “soak and dry” method, watering like this prevents overwatering your plant (and root rot) while encouraging robust root growth.

Humidity: The best humidity level for growing indoor philodendrons is between 65 and 80%, mimicking the high relative humidity in tropical forests. However, many homes have humidity levels below this, especially during the winter. You can create localized spots of high humidity by running a humidifier close to your plant or setting them in a pebble tray with standing water.

Propagation: Philodendrons are known for propagating quickly. You can propagate new plantlets with these plants by taking stem cuttings or air layering. The most significant advantage of both methods is they cost very little. All it takes is more potting soil and a container for the new plant, so it’s an inexpensive way to expand your houseplant collection.

 

 

 

 

 

This plant has all of the wonderful philodendron qualities, as well as gorgeous leaves. When new leaves emerge, they are creamy-white in color and lobed rather than the conventional heart form.

Unlike the pink princess philodendron or the marble queen pothos, the philodendron Florida ghost plant’s color is not categorized as variegation.

This plant is a relatively new hybrid of Philodendron pedatum and Philodendron squamiferum. When its oak-shaped, five-lobed leaves mature, the entire leaf appears very pale or creamy white, not just zones or stripes.
