Philodendron Red Congo X Philodendron Florida Ghost – A Hybrid of Elegance and Resilience

This exquisite hybrid combines the rich, bold hues of Red Congo with the light, almost ghostly tones of the Florida Ghost, creating a unique color gradient on its leaves.

Light & Temperature for Best Color Development

• Thrives in bright, indirect light for enhanced coloration
• Avoid direct midday sun, but morning sun boosts variegation
• Ideal temperature range: 68-82°F (20-28°C)

Humidity & Airflow Considerations

• Prefers 60%+ humidity for optimal growth
• Group with other plants or use a humidifier to maintain moisture levels
• Ensure proper ventilation to reduce mold risk

When to Repot: Spotting the Clues

• Roots circling the topsoil or pushing against the pot indicate repotting time
• Slow growth despite proper care signals the need for fresh soil nutrients
• Leaves becoming dull or curling may mean root congestion

Watering & Fertilization Needs

• Water when the top 2 inches of soil dry out
• A well-aerated mix with perlite and orchid bark prevents root rot
• Fertilize monthly with a nitrogen-rich formula to encourage lush leaves

Pest Prevention: Maintaining a Thriving Hybrid

• Common intruders: Scale insects and spider mites
• Protective measures:
• Regularly inspect new growth for early signs of pests
• Apply a light neem oil misting every few weeks
• Remove affected leaves promptly to prevent infestations
