Philodendron Florida Ghost - Unique Aroid with Colour-Changing Leaves

Discover the fascinating Philodendron Florida Ghost, a distinctive aroid known for its unusual leaf colour transformations. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts, this plant features iconic Florida-shaped leaves that start off a captivating white and gradually transition to deep green as they mature, offering a dynamic visual experience in your indoor garden.

Why Choose Philodendron Florida Ghost?

• Striking Leaf Colour: Begins in a stunning white shade that slowly transitions to a rich green, providing a unique spectacle as the leaves mature.
• Light Sensitivity: The unique colouring of Philodendron Florida Ghost leaves is significantly influenced by light conditions. In optimal bright, indirect light, the leaves emerge in a striking white. In lower levels of light, the new leaves will start as a pale mint green, and not the characteristic white. Changes in the plant's light environment won't yield immediate effects; typically, it takes a few weeks to a month for the plant to adjust and respond to new lighting conditions.

Care Instructions:

Caring for your Philodendron Florida Ghost is straightforward, perfect for both novice and seasoned plant collectors.

• Soil Needs: Prefers well-draining soil that allows for slight drying between waterings, supporting healthy growth without water-logging.
• Lighting: Thrives in bright, indirect light. We recommend growing it in front of an east or west-facing window, as the morning or afternoon sun exposure won't scorch the plant but will encourage white emergent growth. South-facing windows are also fine, but less likely to encourage white emergent leaves. If you want to try growing the plant in a north facing window, be sure to situate the plant far enough from the window to avoid harsh direct sunlight. If you are struggling to achieve white emergent leaf growth, we recommend the addition of a grow light. 
• Support Growth: As this plant is a climber, it will need a support pole as it grows. Encourage larger leaf size with a moss pole that will allow the aerial roots of the plant to grow into it.
