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'.

Great printer, save money on ink; Most issues are very easy to fix
Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
I convinced my boss to buy my first 5150 about 3 years ago and our second one earlier this year. I am happy with my purchase. I have barely had to swap out the maintenance box, and they are cheap anyways. The print quality is quite good, just need to run some cleaning protocols to fix most of them. We did have to open up a printer for some deeper cleaning but there were videos online to fix it. The most common issue is paper jams, but I print a lot and its pretty rare if the paper isn't janky. You can also easily fix by pulling the printer forward and taking off a panel in the back to fish out paper.

Good value
Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
I think 3.5 would be about right. I had a Canon color laser printer that I loved! The problem was that after 6 years it started to need name brand toner at $45/each. I decided to co for something that would print cheaper, because it turns out I don't print as much as I used to, so having a commercial printer is no needed. I like the tanks a lot and they are super easy to fill. The first fill does not use a whole bottle, but then it settles and the next day you can top off the tanks with the rest of the bottle. The print quality is good. I have printed a few hundred pages and it is working as it should, and the tanks don't seem to have dropped but a touch. Much cheaper than toner for sure. The weird thing is that when you scan, it does not know that there is paper in the feeder, so you hear the flat bed scanner run first, and then the tray starts feeding. Also, it prints on both sides, but it does not scan both sides automatically with the feeder, you have to flip each sheet. This is a serious bummer for me as I do a lot of 2-sided scanner. So far so good. If things go south I will revise.

18 months and going strong
Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN, Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
Edit 1/18/26: 2 years in, and I just topped off the ink. I used the extra bottle of black that came with it, and bought a set of color ink for the first time. Love it. Original: I’ve had this printer for 18 months and love it. I haven’t even had to refill the ink yet! I print a fair amount, not constantly, but I homeschool and print things for church and scouts also. I’m able to connect easily from my Windows laptop, Mac desktop, and iPhone. Automatic double sided printing is great. Color printing is good quality. Printing on card stock can get jammed, but there’s a rear bypass for that. It’s annoying that you have to do a single sheet at a time, but oh well. Copying and scanning is handy.

The Perfect Printer
Style: ET-5150, Set: ET PRO FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
This is the perfect printer! I love the paper loading tray that holds a ton of paper, and the sophisticated scanning hinge AND THE TOUCHSCREEN! Other printer's I have owned have had the weirdest buttons, but this is so clear and easy to use. We were replacing a broken black and white printer and upgraded to a color printer. We had an eco tank before (LOVE THEM!) so we knew we wanted an eco tank printer again. Honestly I cannot find a single downside of this printer. For Mac users, know that the CD that comes with it is unnecessary :) Just go online per the instructions to grab the Epson software and you'll be set! Full context: My husband and I are small business owners and we love having an in-home printer!
