Philodendron 'Florida Green' (Philodendron squamiferum x pedatum) is a lush, vining tropical plant with an intriguing backstory—and some rare relatives. It's a cross between two species, Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron pedatum, and this somewhat rare hybrid plant has the deeply lobed leaves of the former and the reddish petioles, or leaf stems, of the latter. Despite the fact that it's a somewhat rare plant, philodendron 'Florida Green' is easy to grow if you provide it with the right conditions and care.

Light: Bright Indirect. An east-facing window is ideal.

Water: Keep moist but not soggy

Soil: Rich, loose potting soil mix that drains quickly but retains moisture, such as two-thirds peat moss and one-third perlite with a few handfuls of orchid bark for aeration.

Additional Care: Use a sphagnum moss pole or trellis to support the vine as it grows taller.
