Philodendron Florida Green is a stunning hybrid variety of Philodendron known for its deeply lobed, elongated leaves and vigorous growth. It is a climbing plant that thrives in a variety of indoor conditions and is a fantastic choice for plant enthusiasts who appreciate unique foliage. Below is a detailed guide to caring for your Philodendron Florida Green to ensure healthy growth and vibrant leaves.


Light Requirements

  • Bright Indirect Light:
    Philodendron Florida Green thrives in medium to bright indirect light. A spot near an east- or north-facing window is ideal. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may grow more slowly and develop smaller leaves.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight:
    Prolonged exposure to direct sun can scorch the leaves, causing brown or yellow patches. If placing the plant near a south- or west-facing window, use sheer curtains or keep it a few feet away from direct rays.

  • Low Light Tolerance:
    This Philodendron can survive in lower light, but its growth may become leggy, and new leaves may lose their distinctive shape. If light is too low, supplement with a grow light.


Temperature and Humidity

  • Ideal Temperature:
    The preferred temperature range is 18–30°C (65–85°F). Avoid temperatures below 15°C (59°F), as cold exposure can slow growth and damage the plant.

  • Humidity Levels:
    Philodendron Florida Green enjoys moderate to high humidity, ideally 50–70%. While it can adapt to normal household humidity, increasing humidity will promote larger, healthier leaves.

    • Use a humidifier or a pebble tray filled with water to maintain moisture in the air.
    • Regular misting can help, but avoid excessive moisture on leaves to prevent fungal issues.
  • Avoid Cold Drafts & Sudden Temperature Changes:
    Keep the plant away from air conditioners, radiators, and open windows in winter, as sudden temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.


Watering

  • Water When the Top Soil Dries Out:
    Water your Philodendron Florida Green when the top 3–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil feels dry. The plant prefers even moisture but does not tolerate overwatering.

  • How to Water:

    • Water deeply until excess water drains from the bottom of the pot.
    • Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent standing water, which can lead to root rot.
    • Empty the saucer after watering to avoid excess moisture retention.
  • Signs of Overwatering:

    • Yellowing leaves
    • Mushy stems
    • Foul-smelling soil (root rot)
  • Signs of Underwatering:

    • Droopy, curling, or crispy leaf edges
    • Slow growth or leaf browning

During autumn and winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant’s growth slows.


Soil and Potting

  • Well-Draining Soil:
    Philodendron Florida Green prefers an aerated, well-draining soil mix. A suitable mix includes:

    • 50% standard potting soil
    • 30% perlite or pumice (for aeration)
    • 20% orchid bark or coconut coir (to retain slight moisture)
  • Repotting:

    • Repot every 1–2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound.
    • Choose a pot 1–2 inches larger in diameter than the current one to allow for growth.
    • Best repotted in spring or summer when the plant is actively growing.

Fertilising

  • Balanced Fertiliser:
    Use a balanced, liquid fertiliser (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

  • How to Fertilise:

    • Apply fertiliser at half the recommended strength to avoid overfeeding.
    • Do not fertilise in autumn and winter when the plant is in its resting phase.
  • Signs of Over-Fertilisation:

    • Brown or burnt leaf tips
    • Salt build-up in soil (white crust on top)

To prevent salt build-up, flush the soil with clean water every few months.


Growth and Support

  • Vining Growth Habit:
    Philodendron Florida Green is a climbing plant that benefits from support. Providing a moss pole, trellis, or stake encourages larger, more mature leaves and promotes upward growth.

  • Pruning for Shape:

    • Prune the plant as needed to remove leggy growth or damaged leaves.
    • Use clean, sterilised scissors to cut just above a node to encourage bushier growth.
    • Remove yellow or dead leaves regularly to keep the plant healthy.

Pests and Diseases

  • Common Pests:
    While generally pest-resistant, Philodendron Florida Green can occasionally attract:

    • Spider mites (look for fine webbing and dry spots)
    • Mealybugs (cotton-like white masses on stems and leaves)
    • Aphids and scale insects (small bumps or clusters under leaves)

    Treatment:

    • Wipe affected areas with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
    • Spray the plant with a mild soapy water solution to remove pests.
  • Common Diseases:

    • Root rot (due to overwatering)
    • Leaf spot or fungal infections (caused by excess moisture on leaves)

    Prevention:

    • Use well-draining soil.
    • Ensure proper air circulation around the plant.
    • Avoid wetting the leaves excessively when watering.

Propagation

Philodendron Florida Green is easily propagated through stem cuttings.

How to Propagate via Stem Cuttings

  1. Select a healthy stem with at least one node and one aerial root.
  2. Cut just below the node using sterilised scissors.
  3. Place the cutting in:
    • Water (change water weekly, roots appear in 2–4 weeks).
    • Moist sphagnum moss (keeps humidity high for faster rooting).
    • Directly into soil (keep soil moist but not soggy).
  4. Once roots are at least 5–7 cm (2–3 inches) long, transplant into a small pot with fresh soil.

Toxicity

  • Toxic to Pets & Humans:
    Like all Philodendrons, Florida Green contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause oral irritation, swelling, and stomach discomfort if ingested.
    • Keep away from cats, dogs, and small children.
    • If ingested, rinse the mouth and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
