Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ is a spectacular and highly coveted hybrid known for its ever-changing leaf colours and uniquely lobed shape. A member of the Araceae family, this rare cultivar — believed to be a cross between Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron pedatum — is celebrated for its ethereal appearance and dynamic growth habit.

Each new leaf emerges a creamy white or pale mint-green, gradually maturing through soft lime tones into a deep, glossy green. This constant transition of colour gives the plant a ghostly, luminous quality, inspiring its name. The elongated, deeply lobed leaves create an architectural silhouette, while the climbing growth habit allows it to develop impressive height and form when supported.

Elegant, unusual, and endlessly fascinating, Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ is a centrepiece plant that embodies the artistry of tropical evolution — a living sculpture of shape and light.


Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light, which preserves the pale variegation on new leaves and supports healthy growth. Too little light will cause the plant to produce darker, smaller leaves, while harsh direct sunlight may scorch the pale emerging foliage. Position near an east- or west-facing window filtered by sheer curtains for best results.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as it is susceptible to root rot. During winter or periods of slower growth, reduce watering frequency.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 20–30 °C; protect from cold draughts and temperatures below 16 °C.

  • Humidity: Enjoys high humidity (60–80%). Mist lightly, use a humidifier, or place near other tropical plants to maintain consistent moisture in the air.

Soil and Potting

Use a loose, well-draining aroid mix composed of compost, orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. This provides excellent airflow and moisture balance for the roots. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and encourage vigorous growth. Provide a moss pole or totem to support climbing and promote larger, mature leaves.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser or one formulated for aroids. Over-fertilising can lead to salt build-up or dull variegation. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune to control size and encourage branching by cutting just above a node. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves at the base. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and enhance their natural gloss. Rotate regularly to ensure even light exposure.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate to fast grower, Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ can reach 1.5–2.5 metres indoors when climbing. Mature leaves can grow up to 25–30 cm long, developing more pronounced lobes and deeper green tones over time. New leaves remain pale for several weeks before gradually deepening in colour, giving the plant an ever-changing visual appeal.

Common Issues

  • Green-only leaves: Insufficient light or nutrient imbalance.

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or dryness.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, mealybugs, or spider mites; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

A hybrid originating from tropical South America, Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ combines the distinct lobed form of P. pedatum with the climbing strength of P. squamiferum. Its ghostly foliage has made it one of the most recognisable and desirable hybrids in modern plant collections.

In addition to its ornamental allure, Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ serves as a natural air purifier, filtering common indoor toxins while adding structure and organic movement to interior spaces. Its transformation of leaf colour from white to green symbolises renewal and growth, making it a meaningful and visually captivating addition to any collection.

Styling Tip

Display Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ in a tall planter with a moss pole or wooden totem, allowing its unique lobed leaves to climb and spread elegantly.

For a balanced tropical aesthetic, pair it with silver-toned companions like Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’. Perfect for bright living rooms or curated tropical displays, this rare hybrid adds movement, contrast, and a whisper of otherworldly beauty to any collection.

    An Amazing Story of "Rags-to-Riches" and the "American Dream" at its Best
    Format: Hardcover
    While it is fashionable in some circles today to believe that achieving the “American Dream” of health, wealth and happiness is no longer possible, "Unstoppable" proves the contrary. Siggi Wilzig’s “rags to riches” story is all the more amazing because he came to the United States in 1947 at the age of 21 with $240 in his pocket and then began his new life as a poor immigrant shoveling snow, cleaning toilets, and selling household goods as a travelling salesman. When one considers that Siggi had already survived torture and starvation at the hands of SS guards in Auschwitz, what he was able to achieve before his death in 2003 truly deserves to be called an “astonishing journey.” Sigi got his opportunity to achieve his American Dream in the mid-1950s, when Sol Diamond, a prominent entrepreneur in then his late 70s, sensed that his much younger friend was the right person to take control of a struggling Texas oil company in which both Diamond and Sigi owned stock. By 1964, Sigi and a small group of friends and family had accumulated enough stock in the Wilshire Oil Company of Texas to get two seats on the company’s board of directors. A year later, Sigi was the president and chief executive officer of the company as well as the chairman of the board. By the late 1960s, Sigi had also taken over a commercial bank—the Trust Company of New Jersey—and was its chief executive officer and chairman of the board. By the early 1990s, the bank’s assets had grown from $180 million to more than $2.2 billion and it was considered the “healthiest bank” in New Jersey. Despite never having finished junior high school, Sigi Wilzig had the instincts and drive to become a phenomenal business success—and a bigger-than-life personality in the American Jewish community. He was a world-class story-teller comedian and charmer and these character traits also were very important to his success. But when talking about his achievements, Sigi insisted that he could not have become a business success anywhere else in the world. “Only in America is such a miracle possible. Only America is the land of freedom and opportunity.” Whether this is a true statement is not the point. Rather, Sigi believed it to be true and he acted accordingly. While Sigi certainly enjoyed financial success, he never forgot his early years in Auschwitz and this explains why his own motto for life was: “Free Men Who Forget Their Bitter Past Do Not Deserve a Bright Future.” That said, Sigi loved his fellow human beings and had great empathy for them. Author Joshua Greene, an accomplished scholar of the Holocaust whose books have sold more than 500,000 copies, brings Sigi to life in the pages of this superb biography. Unstoppable is an inspiring story of a remarkable American. It deserves to reach a wide audience and reading it is time well spent.

    an incredible life!
    Format: Kindle
    This is the story of the incredible life of Siggi Wilzig. While not particularly well-written, the book is inspiring & moving and as unbelievable as Laura Hillenbrand's bio of Louis Zamperini: Unbroken. Anyone familiar with NJ Banking or Wilshire Oil will know Wilzig's name but his life story needs to be made into a movie. He truly was unstoppable

    The Heart and Soul of a Survivor
    Format: Kindle
    The author of this biography of Siggi B. Wilzig, is a master in his ability to bring the heart, soul and brilliance of one man with an over-the-top life to readers attention. At a time in this country when antisemitism is at an all time rise not only in numbers but in demonstrations and acts of violence, this one book will remind everyone what evil is and how each one of us, regardless of religion, must fight to eliminate it however we can. The subtitle reads “Astonishing Journey from Auschwitz Survivor and Penniless Immigrant to Wall Street Legend,” providing the facts of Siggi Wilzig’s life. But the book is so much more. It is replete with humor, as well as horror, in stories this survivor tells. Stories by which he captivates audiences with his tales of concentration camp horrors in details rich enough that you can taste, smell and feel you were reliving those experiences with him. This exceptional man above all celebrates family, feeling blessed to have his own children and grandchildren to raise in a country free of the horrors he lived as a child. He is generous in his support of charitable works, and in building companies in which he considered his employees as family. I heartedly recommend Unstoppable to readers with only a semblance of the history of Nazi’s plans to exterminate the Jews. For it wasn’t only the Jews. Their plan to purify the German Race included the elimination of Gypsy’s, the ill, malformed, children too little to work, women and homosexuals. A famous quote attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller, included in this book is “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me – and there was no one left to speak for me.”

    "Unstoppable" is Irresistible.
    Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
    History. I know people who shut down when they hear the word. I get it. I do that with algebra. I only wish there were books that enticed one to higher math like "Unstoppable" lures one to history. Joshua Greene has presented us with a book whose foundation is build upon the evils of pre-war Nazi Germany and horrors of the German death camps. On top of that foundation he built a structure that houses the triumphal life of a stalwart human being....Siggi Willzig. I confess to a reluctance to read the first few chapters of this book. I find it difficult to dive deep into the details of the evil humans do. It is far easier to take in only the overview, the broad sweeping view of an era. But a deep dive is required to fully understand history. There is no better vehicle for obtaining that understanding than the intimate life story of a person who survived that history. That is what Joshua Greene presents us with. This is not a depressing dissection of one of the darkest evils in modern history. To view "Unstoppable" in that light would be to sell it short. Nor is it a superficial cliche of poor boy makes good. It is, instead, an exploration of the triumph of the human spirit, of maintaining faith and human decency in the face of overwhelming trauma and against all odds. It is an object lesson in the perils of our post war culture complacently engaging in bigotry, and of one person's joyful refutation of that folly. Siggi Wilzig's story has found just the right oracle. Mr. Greene's style is as engaging and irresistible as Mr. Wilzig was unstoppable. He guides the reader thru both the darkness and light of Wilzig's story with equal sensitivity and insight. This is how history should be presented. It is a personal story thru which the ambiance and the flavor of eras are taken in. I hope this book serves as an open door to those who might otherwise shy away from history and the darkness that pervaded the years of WW II.....a darkness that was never fully extinguished and remains with us today. The best way to understand who we are now is to know where we came from. The old adage of history repeating itself comes to mind. "Unstoppable" will take its place in the bulwark which, I hope, will fend off that repetition.

    Amazing and Fantastic
    Format: Hardcover
    Without a doubt one of the best books, I have ever read. Follows a holocaust survivor through the deplorable conditions at Auschwitz to the top of the mountain in New Jersey as he becomes the CEO of two significant corporations, an oil company and a bank. Having the wits and wherewithal to stay alive while 59 members of his family were killed by the Nazis and the grit and determination to fight the Federal Reserve was truly amazing. A true hero.
