Philodendron 'Florida Ghost'

Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' is a climbing Philodendron from the Florida hybrid group, recognised for new leaves that open pale cream, mint, or almost white before gradually turning green. Fresh growth holds this pale colour briefly while older leaves deepen into green.

This cultivar grows from a node-forming climbing stem with aerial roots. Small plants may start with simpler foliage, but a supported stem can produce more divided leaves with a lobed Florida-type outline. The pale new leaves are naturally delicate, so steady warmth, even root moisture, and filtered light help new growth expand cleanly.

Pale new leaves and climbing support

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with aerial roots that attach more readily when given a pole, plank, or trellis.
  • New growth: Fresh leaves emerge pale cream, mint, or white-green, then gradually harden darker.
  • Leaf maturity: Supported older plants can produce more divided leaves than small juvenile plants.
  • Stem behaviour: Each node can extend the vine and produce roots; early support keeps the stem aligned as leaves enlarge and divide.
  • Care focus: Pale leaves mark faster than older green leaves, especially during unfurling.

Florida hybrid traits in Ghost foliage

Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' traces back to Robert “Bob” McColley’s Philodendron squamiferum × Philodendron pedatum hybrid work in Florida in the 1950s. Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841 and is an accepted wet-tropical climber from South Tropical America. Philodendron squamiferum Poepp. was published in Nova Genera ac Species Plantarum 3:87 in 1845 and is an accepted wet-tropical climber from the Guianas and northern Brazil.

The hybrid combines divided foliage from the Philodendron pedatum side with petiole texture from the Philodendron squamiferum side. In this pale new-growth selection, fresh leaves open cream, mint, or almost white before maturing green. Warm roots, even moisture, and higher humidity help pale leaves expand before they darken.

Care for pale Philodendron growth

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light. Pale emerging leaves scorch easily in harsh direct sun, while very dark placement slows growth and weakens the stem.
  • Watering: Water deeply, then let the upper substrate dry slightly. Keep moisture consistent because pale new leaves can mark when the plant swings between very dry and very wet.
  • Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark or coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a fine moisture-holding component. The roots should receive oxygen soon after each watering.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to keep the climbing stem and support stable.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the support becomes unstable, or the substrate starts to break down. Move up gradually to keep the root zone airy.
  • Humidity: Keep humidity around 50–70% where possible. Higher humidity during leaf expansion helps reduce tearing, dry tips, and stuck cataphylls.
  • Support: Train the stem up a pole, plank, or trellis. Attached aerial roots steady the stem as leaves enlarge and divide.
  • Temperature: Maintain roughly 18–28°C and avoid cold draughts. Pale new leaves mark more easily when the plant is cold or recently stressed.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Strong fertiliser doses can damage roots, and that stress often shows quickly on delicate new foliage.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm, and supported. Larger, more divided leaves develop on a stable climbing stem.
  • Placement: Place it where new leaves receive steady filtered light and do not press against glass, walls, shelves, or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Pruning: Remove only spent or badly damaged leaves. Older green leaves support the next flush of pale growth.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node. Cuttings with aerial-root nubs often root faster than bare-node pieces.

Scorched leaves, stuck growth and weak stems

  • Brown marks on pale leaves: Check for direct sun, dry substrate during unfurling, or mechanical damage while the leaf was still soft.
  • Yellowing leaves: Inspect the roots if yellowing spreads quickly. A wet, compact mix can damage roots before the climbing stem collapses.
  • Small leaves and long gaps: A stem growing away from light or support may stretch. Secure the newest growth and move the plant into brighter filtered light.
  • Stuck new growth: Improve humidity and watering consistency, then let the cataphyll loosen naturally. Pulling pale leaves open often leaves tears.
  • Pale growth failing early: Check warmth, root health, and hydration. Very pale new leaves photosynthesise less efficiently at first, so the plant depends on healthy older green foliage and strong roots.
  • Pests: Thrips, mites, and mealybugs can damage pale new leaves early. Inspect the newest leaf, petiole base, and cataphylls often.

Toxicity and handling

Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' is toxic if ingested by pets or people. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation of the mouth, lips, tongue, and throat. Keep cuttings, pruned leaves, and rooted stems away from children and animals.

Name origin and Florida context

Philodendron means “tree-loving”, referring to the climbing behaviour common in the genus. 'Florida Ghost' refers to the pale colour of new leaves. Philodendron pedatum means foot-like, referring to divided foliage, while Philodendron squamiferum means scale-bearing, referring to its textured petioles.

Pale new leaves that deepen to green, divided foliage, and climbing Florida hybrid growth define Philodendron 'Florida Ghost'.

Decent vacuum/mop for the price
Color: Black, Size: D20Plus, Color: Black, Size: D20Plus
We have had this vacuum for a couple of months now and can now give it an honest review. The good: cleans well, good suction power, durable, manages changes in floor height fairly well, attractive (for a robot vacuum), programmable, great mapping The bad: noisy, muffled voices, cumbersome to program initially, app is not the most user-friendly, does not like rugs with a higher nap. Some tips: 1) If you have pets, be cautious of the cleaning solution. Make sure it's pet safe. 2) For pets and children- Remember to pick up any toys before the cleaning cycle begins. The vacuum will try to eat smaller, flat or string toys, and you will end up with a wrapped brush notification. 3) When mapping for the first time, remember to close doors to any rooms or exterior areas you do not want vacuumed or mopped.

Excellent for vacuuming with a great app
Color: White, Size: D20Plus
This thing is just awesome. I gave her name and some googly eyes, and now she is my official cleaning lady. Does a great job with dog hair which was the main reason for the purpose. I was vacuuming all the time. I have hard floors and 3 dogs one of which is a golden retriever that sheds like crazy. The D20 does really great getting up the pet hair along with other stuff in the floor. I have a couple area rugs as well as thick mats in front of the front and back doors, and she does great on both. I definitely make sure to get up any cables or little things like door stops as she will get caught up from time to time. The app works great and does a good job of sending alerts when there is an issue. It lets you know if it’s hung up on something, stick on an edge and if the cleaners are tangled up underneath along with other things. It’s really easy to flip over and take off the brushes to clean them out and untangle them, and easy to put it all back together. You can also schedule her to clean any time of day / night and customize how it cleans certain areas. I prefer to let her run late at night while me and the dogs are sleeping, and she gets the house done in about 90 minutes and covers a lot of ground. She’s also surprisingly quiet for as much as she is picking up. If I’m already awake, I can hear her start to roll around upstairs. But I’ve never been woken up by her, nor have my dogs. I have never used the mop feature as I bought it only for the vacuuming. From what I’ve read it seems there are better options for mopping. But as far as vacuuming goes I am super happy with her! I was vacuuming 3-4 times a week and would usually mop every other week, if ai could get away with it. Now I vacuum and mop once every two weeks, and Dreame does a wonderful job keeping the place clean in between my bi-weekly cleanings. The D20 was a great purchase and a major time and energy saver for me!

Useless
Color: White, Size: D20Plus
Well so far unable to actually use it to see how it works. I have to split my wifi every time I want to use it. It won't charge even when it's on the dock. When I push "charge" on the app it comes off the dock instead of recognizing that it's already on it and proceeds to roam around the house looking for the docking station that it just left. If it can't even find the docking station while sitting on it how can it properly clean the house? I just bought this after returning a defective AirZeen model. Looks like Shark may be the only way to go. Starting yet another return. These are useless

Great Cleaning Power and Super Convenient
Color: White, Size: D20Plus, Color: White, Size: D20Plus
The DREAME D20 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop works really well in my apartment. The suction is very strong and easily picks up dust and pet hair from both carpets and hard floors. I also like the self-emptying feature with the large dust bag, which saves me a lot of time. The mapping is accurate, and the battery lasts long enough to clean the whole place. Overall, it’s a great robot vacuum for the price.

I am very satisfied with the overall experience!
Color: Black, Size: D20Plus, Color: Black, Size: D20Plus
The suction power is really strong. Daily dust, hair and debris can be easily cleaned up, and the ground is obviously much cleaner. Although there are no pets at home, it is enough for daily cleaning. What I like most is its self-dust collection function. The 5L large dust bag has a large capacity and can be used for a long time without dumping garbage. It is really worry-free. It is very friendly to people who do not want to take care of the machine frequently. The drawing is very fast and accurate, and the cleaning route is orderly and will not collide randomly. The APP is easy to operate, and the appointment and remote control are very convenient. Generally speaking, it is very cost-effective, time-saving and effort-saving, and worth buying.
