Here’s a complete care guide for Philodendron Florida Green:
🌤️ Light
Prefers bright, indirect light for lush growth.
Can tolerate medium light, but leaves may grow smaller and darker.
Avoid harsh direct sunlight — it can burn or fade the foliage.
Ideal location: near an east- or north-facing window with filtered light.
🌡️ Temperature
Thrives in warm indoor conditions:
Day: 22–32°C
Night: not below 15°C.
Avoid cold drafts or exposure to AC vents.
💧 Watering
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry to touch.
Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy.
During winter, water less frequently.
Always ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
💨 Humidity
Loves moderate to high humidity (60–80%).
If indoors, increase humidity using a pebble tray, humidifier, or occasional misting.
Keep air circulation good to avoid fungal issues.
🌱 Soil
Use a well-aerated, chunky potting mix, such as:
40% cocopeat or peat moss
30% perlite or pumice
20% orchid bark
10% compost or coco chips
This ensures proper moisture balance and airflow around roots.
🌿 Fertilizer
Feed every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (NPK 20-20-20) diluted to half strength.
In winter, feed once a month or pause feeding.
Occasional use of organic liquid seaweed or vermicompost tea encourages lush growth.
🪴 Potting & Support
A climbing variety — provide a moss pole or coir stick for best leaf size and shape.
Repot every 2 years or when roots start circling the pot.
Use pots with drainage holes.
🌼 Pruning & Maintenance
Trim long or leggy vines to maintain shape and promote branching.
Wipe leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy.
