How to Care for Your Philodendron 'Florida Green'

Provide your Florida Green with a spot that receives plenty of filtered light throughout the day. Avoid direct sun, which may scorch its leaves. A well-draining aroid mix — such as potting soil blended with orchid bark, coco coir, and perlite — helps the roots breathe and prevents rot. Water when the top layer of soil is dry, and avoid letting the plant sit in waterlogged conditions.

This philodendron thrives in higher humidity but adapts well to average indoor environments. As it matures, it will benefit from vertical support such as a moss pole or trellis to promote larger, more defined leaves. Trim any leggy stems to encourage bushier growth and maintain shape.

Fertilize during the growing season to support its rapid development and keep the foliage lush and vibrant.
