Rare Variegated Philodendron Florida Beauty 6 Pot - California Tropicals

Overview

Our Florida Beauty Variegated plant comes in a 6-inch pot, perfect for your home or office. It’s a striking and unique gift for any occasion.

Growth Habit

The Florida Beauty Variegated is a climbing or trailing plant like other Philodendron varieties. It produces long vines that can be trained to climb or allowed to cascade from hanging baskets or elevated surfaces. With proper support, it can grow several feet long, creating an impressive display.

Light Requirements

Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, its variegation may become less pronounced, and growth may slow down. Avoid direct sunlight, as this can cause leaf scorch.

Watering

Water the plant when the top inch or so of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain away to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Striking the right balance is essential to avoid underwatering and overwatering.

Temperature and Humidity

Prefers warm and humid conditions. Maintain temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C) and provide moderate to high humidity levels. Misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help create ideal growth conditions.

Soil and Fertilization

Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Fertilize the plant during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 2-4 weeks to support healthy growth.

Propagation

Propagate the Florida Beauty Variegated through stem cuttings. Cut a healthy stem below a node and place it in water or moist potting mix until roots develop.

This plant not only adds beauty to your space but also requires minimal care to thrive.
