Philodendron 'Florida Green'

Philodendron 'Florida Green' is the green-leaved Florida hybrid with deeply lobed foliage, reddish textured petioles, and a climbing stem that develops larger leaves when given support. Older growth shows a more defined outline than juvenile growth, with the divided green blades and rough petiole texture carrying the classic Florida hybrid traits.

The plant starts with smaller, simpler leaves and becomes more divided as the stem thickens and roots more firmly. Each node can produce aerial roots, which help the plant anchor when it is guided up a pole, plank, or trellis. On a rooted, supported stem, the leaves can become larger and more deeply divided over time.

Green divided leaves and reddish petioles

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with nodes, aerial roots, and a stem that benefits from early support.
  • Leaf shape: Green leaves become more lobed and divided as the plant matures.
  • Petioles: Reddish to rough-textured petioles add visible structure below the leaf blades.
  • Stem development: New growth extends node by node, making support important before the stem becomes heavy.
  • Supported growth: A climbing stem can carry larger, more divided leaves when it is rooted firmly and kept aligned.

McColley’s Florida hybrid line

Philodendron 'Florida Green' is part of the Florida hybrid line, a cross of Philodendron squamiferum × Philodendron pedatum developed by Robert “Bob” McColley in Florida in the 1950s. Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841 and is an accepted climber from South Tropical America, where it grows in wet tropical habitats. Philodendron squamiferum Poepp. was published in Nova Genera ac Species Plantarum 3:87 in 1845 and is an accepted climber from the Guianas and northern Brazil, also from wet tropical habitats.

The divided leaves come from the Philodendron pedatum side of the hybrid, while the reddish textured petioles come from the Philodendron squamiferum side. Indoors, the climbing stem needs space, support, and a potting mix that can hold moisture while staying open around the roots.

Support, roots and substrate care

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light. A bright position with filtered sun helps keep internodes shorter and leaves larger as the stem climbs.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate has started to dry. During active growth, steady moisture keeps new root tips from drying and helps new leaves expand without stalling.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark or coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-retentive base. The mix should drain freely while leaving small air pockets around the roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to hold the support securely as the stem gains height.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the support becomes unstable, or the substrate starts breaking down. Move up gradually to keep the root zone airy.
  • Support: Give a moss pole, coco pole, plank, or trellis before the stem becomes too long. Tie the stem gently until aerial roots begin to attach.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly and gives aerial roots a better chance to attach. Around 50–70% is a suitable indoor range.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at about 18–28°C. Cool conditions slow growth, especially when the pot remains wet.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when light levels and leaf production slow.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm, and supported. Larger, more divided leaves develop gradually on a stable climbing stem.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Place it where the climbing stem has room to extend and the lobed leaves do not press against walls, glass, 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.

Leaf size, root stress and petiole damage

  • Yellowing leaves: Check light and root moisture. Rapid yellowing with a sour-smelling mix often points to root stress from overwatering.
  • Drooping leaves: Check the substrate before watering again. Drooping can come from either dry roots or waterlogged roots.
  • Small juvenile leaves: A loose stem without support often keeps producing smaller foliage. Add support and keep the newest growth in bright filtered light.
  • Brown leaf edges: Look for dry roots, fertiliser salt buildup, low humidity, or hot direct sun through glass.
  • Damaged petioles: The textured petioles can be bruised by tight ties. Use soft plant tape and leave room for the petiole base to expand.
  • Pests: Inspect rough petioles, cataphylls, and leaf undersides for scale, mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips, as these areas can hide early infestations.

Safety around pets and children

Philodendron 'Florida Green' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plants. Philodendron tissue contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth and throat if ingested. Sap may irritate sensitive skin during pruning or propagation.

Botanical name background

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek words meaning “to love” and “tree”. Philodendron pedatum refers to a foot-like divided shape, while Philodendron squamiferum means scale-bearing, matching the textured petiole character of that species.

Deeply divided green leaves, reddish textured petioles, and steady climbing growth define Philodendron 'Florida Green'.

Adequate sponge organizer
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a black matte metal sponge organizer. It does have a tilted drip tray so the water drips down into your sink. The metal is cheap but effective. For the price, the added organization you get from this item is worth it! Could also be used in a bathroom. There is no mounting hardware included, not even adhesives. The metal is already warped out of the box. This is not a high quality item, but the price is fair!

sturdy and they work well
Color: Black, Size: with Dishcloth Holder
my husband been complaining we need something in there to put sponges, etc. in and I’ve agreed with him for two or three years now we bought some different things and none of them really worked. They weren’t what I wanted. I saw this and bought it and it’s definitely worth the money. It looks great. It’s easy to install sturdy. It’s going to drain easily and it has one of the top little baskets that you can move to wherever you want it I couldn’t ask for anything better this is going to be definitely what we wanted. I just tried other things that go over the faucet and things like that and they did not look right and they were flimsy so before you buy one of those check this out first if you have enough room by

Where has this been all my life. Fits a lot. Doesn’t get gross.
Color: Black, Size: with Dishcloth Holder
I don’t know where this thing has been all my life. Over the years I’ve tried so many ways to keep all the dishwashing stuff organized and not dripping on the counter or getting lost in the sink. Every holder I had before would catch water and end up gross. This one actually works. It fits perfectly on the back ledge of my sink, and I love the little spout that angles into the sink. It’s just big enough to clear the edge but small enough that it’s not in the way. The rack for hanging our blue scrubby is my favorite part. There is never a great place for that thing. The rack does come unhooked easily, including if we bump it, but was easily fixed by taking some pliers and just tightening where it clamps on a bit. It holds more than I expected. The bottom is angled so water drains right out through the spout instead of pooling. It’s very nice quality - does not feel cheap. Honestly, I love it more than I thought I would.
