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'.

Help training kitten poop
I have young kitten. It is attractive to me to use the Potty Training Tray. Kitten does not know to go to litter box initially. And they even eat cat litter. For safety, the trining tray is a good start to train their poop habit and also help a smooth transition to litter box when they get older.

Training pad holder literally rises above the competition
Size: 24"X24"
We have been through a variety of potty pad products during our housetraining journey with our Havanese pup. The Petphabet training pad holder has been the best by far and has ended our search for a number of reasons: Pros: 1. Grid design keeps puppy from chewing/tearing/destroying/eating the potty pad. 2. Size is perfect for our pup even as he is getting bigger (15 lbs) - mileage may vary for larger pups/dogs. 3. HERE IS THE REASON THIS PAD HOLDER STANDS OUT AMONG THE COMPETITION - The top grid is elevated off the surface layer where the pad lays, which allows an air gap between the standing surface and the potty pad. This allows the urine to fall to the pad without pooling and without your pup stepping in it and tracking it everywhere! Cons/Areas for improvement: 1. We like blue but it's not for everyone! 2. The "posts" holding the mesh up from the base carry all of the weight of the dog and in some cases jumping or playing on the pad holder can cause the edges of the posts to cut through the potty pad liner, causing a (minor) leak. I would recommend the manufacturer design any subsequent models with larger, flat surfaces on the post supports. 3. The 4 piece design means the base is not solid but has a split down the middle that is not waterproof. This can be remedied by caulking the 2 sides of the base together with clear silicone assuming you will no longer need to disassemble the unit. 4. Poo can get caught in the grid if your pup has loose stool. If not removed quickly your pup may step on it and really pack it in there. After many trials with other products, we are very happy with this training pad holder and have bought a total of 3 units for different areas of our house. I highly recommend for small dogs/pups!

Works Great!!!
Size: 18"X24"
I have 2 pugs and have trained them to "go" on a grid. I started with another brand (Klean Paws) but found this brand (Petphabet Puppy Training Pad Holder) to be superior in several ways. This training pad holder is designed much better. The plastic grid is well supported so the puppy does not get wet paws when waling on the grid. The overall design of the training pad holder makes it very easy to replace training pads. Standard training pads (17.5" x 23.5") fit the medium Petaphet puppy training pad holder perfectly. Just lay the pads flat on the bottom, place the grid on top and clip it all into place with the frame. The frame holds everything in place and keeps any loose ends, hidden from mischievous puppies. It takes a lot of effort to train puppies to "go" on a grid, but it's worth it. I started with one grid in a crate. Then, I gaited off my kitchen area, with 4 medium grids (as shown in the video). You cannot expect a puppy or dog to just go to one spot and do their thing. Dogs like to sniff and walk around before they "go." They need room. I suggest 2 medium girds per medium-sized dog. I have 2 pugs and 4 grids. I reward them with a pinch of peanut butter, whenever I see them go on the grid. I simply pickup the #2 with TP and flush it down the toilet. I replace the pads, in the 4 grids, once a day. NOTE: The sellers of the dog training pad holders seem to come and go. If you cannot find this particular training pad holder, do a search for Mesh training pad holder. Be sure to get a training pad holder that has 3 parts -- the bottom tray, the mesh grid, and a frame that holds it all together. Some of the simpler grids have just 2 parts (bottom tray and top). They are simpler, but do NOT keep paws dry.

Good quality, but my dog didn’t like it
Size: 24"X24"
The product arrived in perfect condition and looks well made. It’s sturdy and easy to clean, so I can see it working well for many dogs. However, my Cavapoo (17 lbs, 1 year old) never liked it. I tried for several weeks, but there was no way to get him to use it. I think it depends on the dog’s preference. For us, it didn’t work, but the product itself is good quality.
