Philodendron 'Florida Bronze'

Philodendron 'Florida Bronze' opens bronze to coppery new leaves that harden into deeper green on a climbing Philodendron stem. One plant can show bronze, olive-green, and older green leaves at the same time, especially while several growth points are active.

Growth comes from a node-forming stem with aerial roots, and the leaf outline becomes more defined on supported stems. Young plants often carry smaller, simpler blades. As the stem climbs and roots more firmly, the leaves can become broader, more divided, and more deeply lobed.

Bronze leaves, textured petioles and climbing growth

  • Growth habit: Climbing aroid with aerial roots along the stem and better stem alignment when grown upward.
  • Leaf colour: Fresh leaves emerge bronze to coppery green, then harden into darker green as they mature.
  • Leaf shape: Juvenile foliage starts simpler, while supported growth becomes more lobed and cut.
  • Petioles: Reddish tones and a lightly textured surface can appear along the leaf stalks.
  • Pot and support: A stable pot and early support keep the climbing stem better aligned as it gains height.

Black Cardinal and Florida parentage

Philodendron 'Florida Bronze' is commonly described in cultivation as a Philodendron 'Black Cardinal' × Philodendron 'Florida' hybrid. Its Florida parent 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, while Philodendron squamiferum Poepp. was published in Nova Genera ac Species Plantarum 3:87 in 1845.

The Florida side contributes divided leaves, aerial-root climbing, and textured petioles. The Black Cardinal side is linked with darker juvenile colouring, matching the bronze to coppery flush on fresh leaves. Hardened leaves naturally settle into green, while each new growth point brings the warm colour back again.

Care for new growth and root health

  • Light: Give bright filtered light with protection from harsh midday sun. Bronze new leaves are tender and can mark quickly after sudden sun exposure.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper part of the substrate has started to dry. The roots need steady moisture during active growth, with enough air around the lower nodes.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with coco chips or bark, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-holding base. The mix should drain quickly while staying lightly moist around active roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to hold the climbing stem and support securely.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank, or trellis while the plant is still manageable. Attached aerial roots steady the stem as the leaves enlarge.
  • Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity, especially while new leaves are expanding. Around 50–70% helps soft bronze leaves open with fewer dry edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at roughly 18–28°C. Cold roots and wet substrate can damage lower nodes and slow new leaf production.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when growth slows and flush the pot if mineral salts collect in the substrate.
  • Repotting: Repot one size up when roots fill the pot or watering becomes difficult to balance. Keep the support steady so attached aerial roots remain intact.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm, and supported. Larger leaves and clearer divisions develop on a stable climbing stem.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if reshaping is needed. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Place it where the climbing stem has room to extend and fresh leaves 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.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node. Cuttings with aerial-root nubs often establish more quickly than bare-node pieces.

Brown new leaves, soft nodes and small foliage

  • Brown patches on new leaves: Check for direct sun, dry roots during unfurling, or handling damage while the bronze leaf is still soft.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Inspect the root ball and stem base. Persistent wetness in a dense mix often shows first as older leaves turning yellow.
  • Soft nodes or blackened stem sections: Move the plant warmer, remove damaged tissue, and check whether the substrate is staying wet around the lower stem.
  • Small simple leaves: Add support and improve filtered light. A loose stem that hangs or leans often keeps producing smaller juvenile foliage.
  • Stuck leaves: Low humidity, irregular watering, or dried cataphylls can trap new growth. Keep moisture more even and let leaves loosen naturally.
  • Pests: Check petioles, cataphylls, and leaf undersides for thrips, spider mites, scale, and mealybugs before new growth becomes distorted.

Pet and child safety

Philodendron 'Florida Bronze' is not pet-safe or child-safe if chewed. Like other Philodendron, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Sap may also irritate sensitive skin, so wash your hands after pruning or taking cuttings.

Name meaning and botanical background

Philodendron comes from Greek roots often translated as “tree-loving”, referring to the climbing and tree-associated growth seen in many species. 'Florida Bronze' refers to the warm bronze colour seen on fresh leaves. The Florida parent connects this plant with Philodendron pedatum, whose epithet refers to a foot-like divided shape, and Philodendron squamiferum, whose name means scale-bearing in reference to its textured petioles.

Bronze-flushed new leaves, divided green foliage, and climbing Florida hybrid growth define Philodendron 'Florida Bronze'.

A Solid Entry-Level Option!
Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar, Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar
The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar offers a decent audio upgrade for those looking to improve their TV's built-in sound without breaking the bank. Dolby Audio, along with the convenience of Fire TV integration. However, it's important to have realistic expectations given its price point. What's Good: Easy Setup: Connecting the soundbar is a breeze, especially if you already have a Fire TV device. The setup process is guided and intuitive. Fire TV Integration: This is a major selling point. Seamlessly controlling the soundbar with your Fire TV remote is incredibly convenient. No juggling multiple remotes! Improved Sound over TV Speakers: The soundbar definitely provides a noticeable improvement in clarity and depth compared to most television speakers. Dialogue is clearer, and the overall soundstage is wider. Compact Size: The soundbar's slim profile fits nicely under most TVs without being intrusive. Affordable Price: This is a budget-friendly option for those wanting better sound without a huge investment. Bluetooth Connectivity: The ability to stream music wirelessly from your phone or other Bluetooth devices is a welcome addition. What's Not So Good: Limited Bass: Being a 2.0 system, the bass response is somewhat lacking. While it adds some low-end presence, it won't satisfy those looking for deep, rumbling bass for action movies or music. Consider a subwoofer if bass is a priority. Virtual Surround Sound: While DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio are present, the simulated surround sound effect is subtle. Don't expect a truly immersive experience. It provides a slightly wider soundstage, but it's not a replacement for a dedicated surround sound system. Sound Quality Could Be Better: While better than TV speakers, the overall sound quality is adequate, not exceptional. The mid-range can sometimes sound a bit muddy. Limited Connectivity: The soundbar primarily focuses on Fire TV integration. While it has Bluetooth, it lacks other input options like HDMI ARC, which could limit its versatility. Overall: The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar is a good entry-level soundbar for those primarily focused on improving the audio from their Fire TV and who are on a budget. The seamless Fire TV integration and improved dialogue clarity are its strongest points. However, if you're a serious audiophile or crave powerful bass, you'll likely need to spend more for a higher-end system. This soundbar is best suited for casual viewers who want a simple and affordable upgrade to their TV's built-in speakers.

Happy for now but not impressed
Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar
So, I have a insignia fire tv so you would think an Amazon fire soundbar would work perfectly? It was particularly hard to set up, but the issue was that tv speakers wouldn't switch off so I would have an echoing, double effect of audio. The setting said they were off, but they were not. In fact, I couldn't even switch them off normally. Even with nothing connected, I switch them off and still get sound pushed through. I kept trying to fix it. What I had to do was: 1) Settings 2) HDMI-CEC control 3) Switch One Touch Play off 4) Turn off Soundbar 5) Set Volume to 0 6) Turn Soundbar back on That seem to let the soundbar function independently, get rid of the echoing, and get everything to work as described. The downside, the volume will only go up and down at 2 intervals despite what I set it to internally. And, there is no easy way to switch between the TV and sound bar for audio without screwing up the good result I got after working all day on it. Also, make sure you plug into your first HDMI port/Arc port. I had my gaming console set up and didn't realize my intital issue of no sound was the fact that I needed to swap the ports. Frankly, being an Amazon soundbar with and Amazon TV that specifically has a set up for it. I would say the functionality kind of sucks because it it should just work, like it says it should, by following the instructions without having to search up and down for way to keep both audios from playing. Like, the setting say the internal speakers were off despite being a lie and that setting effected nothing. It made it more difficult them it needed to get it to work somewhat normally. I would prefer to set it so volume interval is 1 but I guess to make this usable I am stuck at 2 everytime. And, I better hope that nothing changes and messes it up again in a update to the TV. The sound itself is a improvement, and there is a marked difference between regular and surround sound. It sort of like watching TV versus going to a theater. It terms of the way it fills the room and hits your ear. I can't say that the movie, music, dialogue settings seem to different to me. The size is okay. It just tall enough to not block my screen. The length is just about the size of my dresser. Depth is about 3.5 inches so as long as you have another room in front or to push back your TV, you will be fine. Overall, it is nice but I am not sure if I am total happy I bought it considering it was almost $90 for what I would categorize as works okay. I feel like for that price, and the fact I specifically bought Amazon for the fact I thought it would better with fire tv, that I am not blown away. Happy for now, but not impressed.

Pretty good unit for my PC
Configuration: Fire TV Soundbar
Not bad little unit. I didn't buy for my TV but rather for my desktop as I kind of got annoyed with wearing headphones to just either listen to tunes or more importantly watch tutorials or other problem solving methods for my work. Many of the other units I see are super long making them unusable in this situation but this one is nice and short and sounds just as good as others. Unless you're truly an audio perfectionist I feel that the vast majority of sound bars are pretty much indistinguishable from each other. I also like how this unit is relatively easy to use and has the optical audio port I like to use. It's also not super light like some of the really cheap Chinese ones I've gotten over the years. It's only matters to me as if things are too light and cheap they either move or shift super easy which always kind of annoys me. Overall a pretty good bang for my buck. We'll see how it holds up over time. Although being a speaker I expected to almost be immortal.
