Philodendron Pedatum ‘Florida Ghost’

The reason philodendrons make such amazing indoor plants is that they adapt to a wide variety of lighting and water conditions in the wild and so will thrive indoors very well. Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ is a very rare and ‘must have’ variety pumping out pure white and green leaves randomly and is easy to care for in the right conditions. 

This stunning plant is native to the tropical rainforests of South America, where it grows on the forest floor and up to the tree canopy.

One of the reasons why the Philodendron Pedatum ‘Florida Ghost’ is so rare is due to its unique foliage. The plant features long, slender leaves that are a ghostly white color with hints of green. This ghostly appearance is due to the lack of chlorophyll in the leaves, which makes this plant truly one-of-a-kind.

When it comes to styling this plant, the Philodendron Pedatum ‘Florida Ghost’ is incredibly versatile. Its unique appearance makes it an excellent addition to any indoor space, whether it be a living room, bedroom, or office. It can be placed on a table or shelf, or hung from a macrame hanger to create a stunning display.

The Philodendron Pedatum ‘Florida Ghost’ thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers to be kept slightly moist. It is important not to overwater this plant as it can be susceptible to root rot. With the proper care and attention, this rare and exotic plant will thrive and bring a unique touch to any space.

Philodendrons would make a great houseplant gift for friends or family – surprise them with rainforest style! Low maintenance and an excellent choice for anyone new to growing houseplants. This plant will thrive as long as it’s water only when it’s completely dry and kept in a warm and sunny spot.

Philodendron pedatum ‘Florida Ghost’ care level

This plant is easy care for, great for beginners.

Where should I put this plant?

Philodendrons like a shady corner, it will also enjoy a sunny spot, so it’s not a fussy plant.

How should I water this Philodendron pedatum ‘Florida Ghost’?

The soil should never be allowed to dry out completely. Not enough water and overwatering can cause the leaves to turn yellow and drop from the plant. If the leaves begin to turn yellow, water the plant less often if the soil is still wet or more often if the soil appears dry between waterings.

Increase the humidity in the room with a humidifier, mist regularly or set a pan or dish filled with pebbles and water below the plant to increase the room’s humidity; brown tips will show the humidity is too low.

Should I feed this plant?

Feed once a month in spring and summer with liquid plant food. Why not try our own vegan, organic plant food? 

Indoor Plants need a balance of nutrients to survive and grow; deficiencies stop plants from growing big and strong. Nutrients absorbed through the soil help the plant Photosynthesis, the process by which plants use water, light and carbon to create oxygen and energy.

Our organic indoor plant food is made from Seaweed, harvested sustainably. Seaweed provides a delicate blend of growth hormones and micronutrients that is perfect for all indoor plants. Houseplants grow throughout spring, summer and autumn, so they will benefit from organic fertiliser during this time to encourage flowering and keep them healthy and well.
