Bring home a rare and highly collectible houseplant with Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’, a unique tropical variety admired for its changing leaf colours, unusual shape, and elegant growth habit.
This sought-after hybrid is believed to be a cross between Philodendron pedatum and Philodendron squamiferum, combining attractive foliage and distinctive features from both parent plants.
The standout feature of this plant is its new growth. Fresh leaves emerge in shades of ghostly white, pale yellow, or cream before gradually changing through soft chartreuse tones and eventually maturing into deep green foliage. This natural colour transition creates a constantly evolving display, making every new leaf an exciting part of the plant’s growth.
The deeply lobed leaves add a tropical, architectural appearance, while the reddish petioles provide extra contrast against the changing foliage colours. With its climbing growth habit and attractive form, it is an excellent choice for indoor plant collectors looking for something uncommon.

Care Guide

Watering
Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between watering to prevent root issues.
Humidity
This tropical plant prefers higher humidity levels. Regular misting, a humidifier, or grouping plants together can help create a suitable environment.
Soil
Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich indoor plant mix. A combination designed for aroids with good airflow around the roots is ideal.
