About trees
Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' is a climbing philodendron hybrid known for changes in leaf color as it matures. Young leaves begin in white or cream tones and gradually turn light green and then dark green. Leaves that are narrow and lance-like when young develop more distinct lobes as they mature, allowing a single plant to display several stages of color and form at once. It suits collectors who enjoy observing leaf development. Keep the Florida Ghost label with the plant whenever it is propagated by cuttings or division.
Plant it in an airy growing medium that retains moisture while draining well. Provide bright, diffused light and warm temperatures. Wait until the surface begins to dry before watering thoroughly, then empty any water left in the saucer. Give the plant a support so the nodes and aerial roots can attach, tying the stem loosely. Reduce watering when growth slows and apply diluted liquid fertilizer only while new shoots are developing. Check regularly for mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects around the petioles. White young leaves are sensitive to intense sun, so increase light gradually and avoid direct sunlight that could cause scorching.
