Philodendron Florida Ghost Care Instructions

Philodendron Florida Ghost Light Requirements

Philodendron Florida Ghost's thrive in bright indirect sunlight, like many other philodendrons. Placing them a few feet from a window will give them with enough sun to grow strong. They cannot survive in direct sunlight, especially the afternoon sun. Once the morning sun has risen it gets too hot and is will scorch leaves on your plant. 

During the winter and spring seasons your philodendron can accept a bit of direct sunlight in a window as those months are more overcast, however the summer's sun will definitely be too strong. 

Some people place their philodendron's in lower light conditions, and while it is true that they can live there, it is not completely optimal. They will grow faster in brighter light and brighter rooms.

How much water does a Philodendron Florida Ghost need?


Here at Gold Leaf Botanicals, we have found the best results when we water once the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Your plant needs air! When the soil dries it allows air to flow into the soil and the roots. This not only prevents root rot, but also helps the plant grow stronger roots.

Watering once or twice a week is the most common for this style of plant, but going two or three weeks is not uncommon. A Florida Ghost is a drought-tolerant plant, and if you forget to water it there is no need to worry.

If your Florida Ghost is in a very bright room, windows on multiple sides, or in a warmer room due to summer, you will have to water more often. The extra energy from the sun means the plant will also use more water.

In the winter months your plant will receive less sun, so let the plant start to droop a little to find out when it's time to water again. A little drooping is perfectly natural and will not harm your plant.

Humidity a Florida Ghost likes

The average Canadian home has a humidity around 30% to 40%, and that is great for your Florida Ghost. If you want to maximize your plants' potential, humidity up around 50% and 60% is optimal.

Getting humidity higher is easy! A humid bathroom or a window in the kitchen will tend to have more humidity than a living room, so feel free to keep your plants in the bathroom if the lighting allows for it.

Soil requirements for a Philodendron Florida Ghost

Florida Ghost's should be potted with a good soil that allows for drainage. Most "well-draining" soils you find in garden centres will do just fine.

Adding a handful or two of perlite into the soil mix will help your soil retain and disperse water if you wanted to go the extra mile, but it's completely optional.

If you want to add fertilizer, check out our all natural Liqui-Dirt.


Family and Information

Philodendrons originate from warm and humid regions in the North, Central, and South Americas where they grow in rain forests and along river banks. Over the centuries, philodendrons have been bred and cross-bred, allowing them to live in conditions unusual to them

This allows your Philodendron Florida Ghost to live in the Canadian climate and inside Canadian homes without trouble.

Florida Ghost leaves emerge from the red petioles as a single lobe. As they mature, they develop unique lobes and then turn from bright white to cream, and then various shades of green until they settle as a solid, dark green.

Is a Philodendron Florida Ghost Pet Friendly? 

Like other Philodendron's the Florida Ghost has a toxicity level of mild to moderate for cats and dogs. Your pet will experience irritation of the mouth which is usually enough to prevent them from nibbling on your plant in the future.

As always, we recommend that you keep your plants out of your pets reach.

Philodendron Florida Ghost Propagation

Propagating a Florida Ghost is very simple to do. Cut the stem of your Philodendron about 2 inches below a grouping of leaves. Be sure that there are at least two leaves attached to the stem, and more is usually better.

Put the stem directly into the soil of your choice, and you can read more about the proper soil above.

Water the soil and keep it slightly moist as your Philodendron puts out new roots.

You can also do a water-propagation, where you place the cut stem into a clear jar of water for a few weeks. The cutting will make new roots which you can then move to soil.

Growth and Pruning Tips

To enhance the beauty of your Philodendron Florida Ghost you may prune it as you see fit. This allows your plant to get bushier by growing new leaves on it's existing vines, and you will get rid of the old and damaged leaves.

As always, clean your pruning tools will ensure that you do not spread bacteria during the process. Be sure to remove a small amount of leaves at a time so you do not shock the plant.

If a plant feels that it is damaged too much, it may hinder growth, so only prune from time to time. 

Conclusion 

A Philodendron Florida Ghost is an ideal and low-maintenance house plant for any indoor grower. There are many different varieties of Philodendron's to choose from, and they are loved for their unique tropical look.

Magnet is super strong but hooks are not adjustable
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
I ordered this set of Mutuactor magnetic hooks because I was tired of thinking I had things organized and then finding previously hung magnets have slid down the wall. It was a first for me to have to assemble a magnetic hook. This was made slightly more difficult by requiring a wrench. So many items these days arrive with a disposable little hex wrench or whatever is needed for assembly. Not in this case. Maybe the manufacturer assumes if you are spending $15 per magnet to hang your tools you have a wrench handy. Anyway, I got my wrench and found no instructions. I know from life that the order is bolt-washer-lock washer-nut. The next question arose when I found one bolt and several holes... hmmmm. It looks like they wanted to provide the option to screw the hooks directly to the wall. I am not sure the average person would pay that price just for a hook, though. I chose a hole and it seems to be the right one. The good news is I was quickly in business. Soon one magnet was snatched by my husband for his rolling tool cart. He hung his (very heavy) Sawzall and the magnet never moved. He liked the rubber coating that protects his tools. I chose to take advantage of the amazing grip of this thing to hang my most used (and also very heavy) all-clad pan from the side of my fridge. The refrigerator had some sort of glossy powder coat and magnets hold well if you try to pull them straight off but end up sliding down anyway. This is where I came to appreciate the rubber shoe of this magnet. It protects my fridge but I think it plays an essential part in the grip strength of the magnet. I can not slide it around - I need to use two hands to pull it off then place it in another position. To give a magnet strength example I had one magnetic hook on my desk as I was writing this review. My nearby desk-size scotch tape dispenser came sliding over and the magnet grabbed it. I was able to lift the tape dispense just by the magnet grabbing the little piece of metal serrated teeth that cut the tape. There is no other metal in my dispenser. That's it! In summary, four stars because it REALLY grips and holds a lot of weight. Minus a star because I do think they are a little expensive, they required assembly without tools or instructions, and the hooks themselves are not adjustable. I have some similar magnetic hooks and you can move the two prongs apart or together depending on what your tool size is. These prongs are strong and firm and are not moving and this cuts down of the number of uses a little bit.

Develop some quality, worth-while hangups!
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
Organization is key for any shop space. This goes double for smaller shops. If you look around and DON'T see something that could benefit from getting off the floor and onto a peg or hook, I applaud you! For the rest of us, where can we get started? Here you go. These hooks come two in a package. The quality of these are easy to see. The powder coating is very nice as powder coating is more durable than paint. The orange plastic coating on the hooks feels thick and durable. Assembly is easy. There's a threaded post sticking out of the black rubber coated magnet "puck" that you insert into a opening on the hook and secure with washers and a nut. I like that they included both a washer and locking washer. If it matters, I always stack the fastener in the following order: washer, locking washer, then nut. Using a 14mm socket, I was done in no time. How's much will these hooks hold? The magnetic power on these hooks feels substantial. When I slowly approached the side of my metal toolbox, the magnet made an audible snap when it magnetized to the side. It felt strong! The bend at the base of the hook added stability pressing against the toolbox but didn't mark the surface since it was covered by plastic. It held my heavy 50a extension cable and the other hook held both my 25' and 50' pressure washer hoses. Neither moved at all and felt very secure. Whether your shop is your garage or basement, making the most of your space makes a difference and these can help. These are very strong and hold items safely. I'm very happy having these around and will be getting more. If you have a metal surface that you can attach hooks, give these a try. It's a quality solution!

Awesome product!!!
Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS, Style: Updated 3.46in Magnet L Red Hooks 2PCS
Wow when they describe these magnets as “super string” they are not joking! Magnets are so strong you must be careful when placing them on your metal cabinet, lest it pinch your finger when the magnet grabs the metal! This is an awesome product. The hooks have a hole in their base that fits over a threaded post / bolt coming out of the center of the magnet and the kit comes with two washers, lock washers, and bolts to attach the hooks to the magnets. Takes about one minute per magnet to assemble. Once on the wall they feel like they will hold a lot of weight though I did not try to test the upper limit. No problem at all holding yard tools and the like. The hooks or arms have a nice rubberized coating and extend about 4.5” out from the wall. At $15 each these seemed a little pricy but wow what a great solution for hanging things on metal walls. They work so well I will be buying more of these! I actually have some other similar very strong round magnets made for a similar purpose … but they do not have the “built-in” hooks like these do and it makes a big difference for the usefulness! Considering all of that I think they are a great value. Item reviewed: MUTUACTOR Updated Super Strong Magnetic Hooks,40lbs, 2-pack
