Philodendron 'Florida Ghost' - varietà rara, con fogliame camaleontico e aspetto esotico

Philodendron ‘Florida Ghost’ is a striking and highly sought-after variety, valued for its unique leaves that change color as they mature. The new leaves appear almost white or cream, then pass through shades of light green, lime, and emerald, offering a continuous and fascinating play of colors.

🌿 Botanical characteristics

This variety, part of the Araceae family, has vigorous growth and a semi-climbing habit. Its distinct, lobed, and waxy leaves resemble an elegant silhouette, with a thick and glossy texture. It is a collectible ornamental plant, ideal for lovers of rare and spectacular foliage.

💡 Placement

It prefers strong but filtered natural light, protected from direct sunlight. In lower light, the leaves tend to become greener, losing the white-cream contrast typical of the variety.

💧 Watering

Water moderately, only after the top layer of the substrate has partially dried. The soil should remain slightly moist but never soaked. Avoid excess water and ensure very good drainage to prevent root damage.

🌱 Substrate and care

It develops best in an aerated substrate rich in organic matter, ideally a mix of peat, pine bark, coconut chips, and perlite. It can also be grown with support (moss stick or natural fiber holder) for harmonious growth.

⚠️ Disclaimer – leaves and transport

• Some specimens may show natural traces, small imperfections, or scars on the leaves, naturally occurring during growth or transport. These aspects do not affect the plant’s health.

• The variety has very delicate leaves sensitive to temperature and humidity changes. It is possible that during transport, some leaves may show minor aesthetic defects – this is normal and temporary.

• The plant will quickly regenerate its foliage under proper light and watering conditions.
