How to care for Philodendron Florida Ghost

Difficulty

With its straightforward care requirements, Philodendron Florida Ghost is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Water

Philodendron Florida Ghost should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Philodendron Florida Ghost loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Dormancy

During the wintertime, it is common for Philodendron Florida Ghost plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

Toxicity

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

Humidity

The Philodendron Florida Ghost does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.

Fertilizer

Once the Philodendron Florida Ghost has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Region of origin

Philodendron Florida Ghost’s native range is Central, South America, and the Caribbean.
