Description

Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' or 'Florida Ghost Beauty' is a rare and sought-after houseplant with astonishing foliage that transitions from bright white to deep green as it matures. Its elegant, lobed leaves add an exotic and sophisticated touch to your interior. This plant fits perfectly into contemporary, minimalist, or "jungle" décor.

Belonging to the Araceae family, Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' is generally considered a hybrid between Philodendron squamiferum and P. pedatum. This plant is particularly prized for its climbing and spreading habit, allowing it to adapt equally well to hanging or trellised cultivation. It typically reaches 1 m in height and 50 cm in spread at maturity, depending on growing conditions and pot size. Its deeply lobed leaves, with 5 lobes, measuring up to 35 cm long, emerge white or cream before turning light green, then dark green as they mature. These colour variations create a captivating display throughout the seasons. The red, hairy petioles add a subtle yet striking touch of colour to the overall appearance.

To showcase Philodendron Florida Ghost, place it on a trellis or let it cascade elegantly from a shelf. Pair it with plants like Monstera deliciosa and Pothos 'Marble Queen', which share similar light and humidity requirements, to create a lush and harmonious atmosphere.
