Returns Simplified.Philodendron Florida Green is a striking and vigorous hybrid variety admired for its deeply lobed, glossy green leaves and elegant climbing growth habit. A member of the Araceae family and native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, this hybrid (a cross between Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron pedatum) is prized for its sculptural foliage and lush, tropical presence.
Each leaf is multi-lobed with a distinct, elongated shape almost like a hand reaching outward and a rich, deep green colour that gleams under light. As it matures, Philodendron Florida Green develops sturdy, climbing stems that can reach impressive heights when supported by a moss pole or trellis. Compact when young but increasingly dramatic over time, its an easy-care, fast-growing statement plant that brings rainforest character into modern interiors.
Tropical, bold, and effortlessly elegant, Philodendron Florida Green is the perfect choice for collectors seeking lush foliage and sculptural form without the fuss.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may slow growth and cause smaller, less lobed foliage. A bright east- or north-facing window, or filtered light in a south-facing space, is ideal.
Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top 23 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season (spring and summer), maintain consistent moisture; in winter, allow the soil to dry slightly more between waterings. Always ensure the pot drains freely to prevent root rot.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 1828 C; avoid temperatures below 15 C. Protect from cold drafts or heating vents.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (6080%) encourages lush growth and glossy leaves. Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or group with other tropical plants to raise humidity levels.
Use a rich, airy, and well-draining aroid mix compost blended with perlite, orchid bark, and coco coir provides the perfect texture. This allows airflow around the roots while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh nutrients and accommodate growth.
Feed every 46 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser. Avoid over-fertilising, which can lead to leaf tip burn. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter.
Prune long or leggy stems to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Provide a moss pole, coir totem, or trellis to support climbing and promote larger leaves. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and restore their natural shine. Rotate occasionally for even light exposure.
A fast-growing climber, Philodendron Florida Green can reach up to 1.52 metres indoors when supported. Each new leaf emerges on long petioles, unfolding into the plants signature lobed shape. Mature specimens become beautifully architectural, making them ideal statement pieces for larger spaces.
Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Brown edges: Low humidity or underwatering.
Small leaves: Insufficient light or nutrients.
Pests: Occasionally affected by thrips or spider mites treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
A hybrid of Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron pedatum, Florida Green inherits the best of both parents the lobed leaf shape of pedatum and the vigorous climbing nature of squamiferum. Native to tropical rainforests, its adapted to climb trees in search of filtered light, making it perfectly suited for vertical displays indoors.
Like other Philodendrons, its also an excellent air purifier, filtering toxins from the air while bringing a lush, calming energy to indoor spaces. Symbolically, Philodendrons represent growth, abundance, and resilience fitting qualities for this bold and adaptable hybrid.

Showcase Philodendron Florida Green as a tall, climbing centrepiece in bright living rooms, offices, or conservatories. Pair it with darker, broad-leaved plants such as Ficus elastica Robusta or Philodendron Imperial Green to create contrast and visual depth. Train it up a moss pole to accentuate its natural rainforest form or let it trail for a wilder aesthetic. Its glossy green leaves add structure and movement, making it the perfect plant for modern, tropical-inspired interiors.
