Philodendron 'Florida Green'

Philodendron 'Florida Green' is the green-leaved Florida hybrid with deeply lobed foliage, reddish textured petioles, and a climbing stem that develops larger leaves when given support. Older growth shows a more defined outline than juvenile growth, with the divided green blades and rough petiole texture carrying the classic Florida hybrid traits.

The plant starts with smaller, simpler leaves and becomes more divided as the stem thickens and roots more firmly. Each node can produce aerial roots, which help the plant anchor when it is guided up a pole, plank, or trellis. On a rooted, supported stem, the leaves can become larger and more deeply divided over time.

Green divided leaves and reddish petioles

  • Growth habit: Climbing Philodendron with nodes, aerial roots, and a stem that benefits from early support.
  • Leaf shape: Green leaves become more lobed and divided as the plant matures.
  • Petioles: Reddish to rough-textured petioles add visible structure below the leaf blades.
  • Stem development: New growth extends node by node, making support important before the stem becomes heavy.
  • Supported growth: A climbing stem can carry larger, more divided leaves when it is rooted firmly and kept aligned.

McColley’s Florida hybrid line

Philodendron 'Florida Green' is part of the Florida hybrid line, a cross of Philodendron squamiferum × Philodendron pedatum developed by Robert “Bob” McColley in Florida in the 1950s. Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841 and is an accepted climber from South Tropical America, where it grows in wet tropical habitats. Philodendron squamiferum Poepp. was published in Nova Genera ac Species Plantarum 3:87 in 1845 and is an accepted climber from the Guianas and northern Brazil, also from wet tropical habitats.

The divided leaves come from the Philodendron pedatum side of the hybrid, while the reddish textured petioles come from the Philodendron squamiferum side. Indoors, the climbing stem needs space, support, and a potting mix that can hold moisture while staying open around the roots.

Support, roots and substrate care

  • Light: Provide bright indirect light. A bright position with filtered sun helps keep internodes shorter and leaves larger as the stem climbs.
  • Watering: Water when the upper substrate has started to dry. During active growth, steady moisture keeps new root tips from drying and helps new leaves expand without stalling.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with bark or coco chips, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-retentive base. The mix should drain freely while leaving small air pockets around the roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to hold the support securely as the stem gains height.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots fill the pot, the support becomes unstable, or the substrate starts breaking down. Move up gradually to keep the root zone airy.
  • Support: Give a moss pole, coco pole, plank, or trellis before the stem becomes too long. Tie the stem gently until aerial roots begin to attach.
  • Humidity: Moderate to high humidity helps new leaves expand cleanly and gives aerial roots a better chance to attach. Around 50–70% is a suitable indoor range.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at about 18–28°C. Cool conditions slow growth, especially when the pot remains wet.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when light levels and leaf production slow.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm, and supported. Larger, more divided leaves develop gradually on a stable climbing stem.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if the plant needs reshaping. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Place it where the climbing stem has room to extend and the lobed leaves do not press against walls, glass, shelves, or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node. Cuttings with aerial-root nubs often establish more quickly than bare-node pieces.

Leaf size, root stress and petiole damage

  • Yellowing leaves: Check light and root moisture. Rapid yellowing with a sour-smelling mix often points to root stress from overwatering.
  • Drooping leaves: Check the substrate before watering again. Drooping can come from either dry roots or waterlogged roots.
  • Small juvenile leaves: A loose stem without support often keeps producing smaller foliage. Add support and keep the newest growth in bright filtered light.
  • Brown leaf edges: Look for dry roots, fertiliser salt buildup, low humidity, or hot direct sun through glass.
  • Damaged petioles: The textured petioles can be bruised by tight ties. Use soft plant tape and leave room for the petiole base to expand.
  • Pests: Inspect rough petioles, cataphylls, and leaf undersides for scale, mealybugs, spider mites, and thrips, as these areas can hide early infestations.

Safety around pets and children

Philodendron 'Florida Green' should be kept away from pets and children that may chew plants. Philodendron tissue contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth and throat if ingested. Sap may irritate sensitive skin during pruning or propagation.

Botanical name background

The genus name Philodendron comes from Greek words meaning “to love” and “tree”. Philodendron pedatum refers to a foot-like divided shape, while Philodendron squamiferum means scale-bearing, matching the textured petiole character of that species.

Deeply divided green leaves, reddish textured petioles, and steady climbing growth define Philodendron 'Florida Green'.

Not indestructible, but dogs love it
Color: Green
My dog LOVES this toy. Unfortunately, she loves it so much she destroys it. I have now purchased FOUR of these, but if left unattended for 5 minutes, my American terrier breaks this apart. She loves it so much though, I keep buying replacements. This is a wonderful enrichment toy, but you must keep an eye on your toothy friend.

Engaging and Fun, But Lacks Durability for Strong-Gripped Dogs
Color: Green
The internal mechanism of this toy works very well, and the ball’s movement immediately caught the attention of my Boxer pup. He was absolutely fascinated and spent hours each day playing with it. However, while the toy’s design is engaging, the durability of the exterior leaves much to be desired—especially for dogs who tend to pick things up with a firm grip. We didn’t know what to expect since our pup hadn’t previously played with an interactive ball, so we supervised playtime and made sure to store the ball in a safe spot when we couldn’t keep an eye on him. Despite this, the ball didn’t hold up. Our pup wasn’t intentionally chewing it. He simply carried the ball in his mouth when we moved downstairs or to another room, yet the grip while he carried the ball caused significant damage to the exterior. Within about a week of regular use (approximately 40 hours in total), the ball’s outer layer became deeply gouged by his teeth. To clarify, my pup wasn’t biting down hard or trying to destroy it, but his natural grip while carrying the ball left deep grooves in the surface. In just days, these gouges made the exterior sharp to the touch and compromised the structure. By the end of the week, we couldn’t screw the cover back together after removing it to recharge the ball, which made it unusable. And I was dismayed that there aren’t replacements readily available. Overall, my pup absolutely loved this toy — it was engaging and kept him entertained for hours. However, if your dog has a strong grip or frequently carries toys in their mouth, this may not hold up as well as expected. It’s a great concept but needs a more durable outer layer and replacement hard covers to make it a long-term investment.

My dog loves this ball
Color: Green
The battery on this lasts forever. The random on/off motion and when it gets touched inducing motion just keeps my dog guessing and occupied for a long time. My dog's tail is wagging the whole time.

Great ball
I have bought two of these in different colors. My Yorkie loves them. They’re very interactive even if you don’t put the cover on it they move and if he’s not playing with it, it tends to go into sleep mode.My Yorkie got the cover off the ball within the first two minutes. But he loves the ball. Now bought 2nd ball. The ones with covers don’t work he rips the covers off.

Super Fun
Color: Green
One of the most entertaining things you could buy. The dogs go crazy over it and have so much fun. It's a bit loud on hard floors, but honestly worth it for the laughs. Seems pretty durable too. I have 2 labs; one started out uninterested and the other started off scared of it, but not too long after, they both started going crazy, tossing and carrying it around while it shook.
