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'.

My favorite toothbrush for my fur babies!
Color: Pink (2-pack)
I think these brushes are the easiest way to brush your fur babies teeth. I can get into their mouths and really see in there and brush each tooth and make sure the tarter is off. They even assist by trying to bite the brush and I use toothpaste for dog and gently brush back and forth first the front teeth then the side teeth then the inside teeth and the top of the teeth then the inside of the bottom and top teeth and I end with the left inside top and bottom teeth. I use vanilla mint toothpaste for dogs because my dogs are allergic to proteins. Their teeth look so white and their vet comments that their teeth look so great and clean. She does want them of course to have their yearly cleaning but she said there is no rush because their teeth are so clean and she sees no dental disease. I make sure that I wash the brushes daily with soap and keep them open after use otherwise mold will grow on them if you shut them in the case they come in. My pups weigh 6 lbs and 7 lbs and are Maltese females. They cooperate fully with me brushing their teeth because I started when they were puppies and now they are one and two years old. These brushes are lightweight and not expensive at all. I usually buy several at a time to make sure I have clean ones on hand just like you would change a human toothbrush monthly. Each pup gets its own toothbrush and I label the case for each with a marker. I like these better than a regular toothbrush because it’s 360 degrees and the pup can chew on it without hurting themselves or the bristles coming off. Highly recommend!

Dog Approved - Highly Preferred Over Standard Toothbrush
Color: Neon (4-pack)
These pet finger tooth brushes work well for me and my dog. He most definitely tolerates these so much more than a standard tooth brush. I believe I am able to reach more of his teeth and that I'm more effective brushing with these than I am with a standard brush. I put one on each of my index fingers. This makes it easier to do each side and the top and bottom without having to twist and turn to reach everything. The size is just right for my index fingers. They are a little tight getting them on and I have found that wetting my finger and the inside of the finger brush makes it a lot easier to put them on. The bristles on the finger brushes are soft, yet they are durable enough to give some good scrub quality and gum massage. These are a good price for what you get. I purchased the four-pack at right about $16.00. I have gotten numerous uses so far out of the two that I have been using. I will definitely purchase these again when it is time.

Probably Best for Medium-Large Size Dogs
Color: Blue (2-pack)
This finger cot–style toothbrush works well and is a simple way to brush your dog’s teeth, especially if they’re not comfortable with a traditional toothbrush. The material is soft yet effective at cleaning, and it gives you good control while brushing. The only drawback is that it’s a little large for my miniature Dachshund’s mouth, making it somewhat difficult to reach all areas comfortably. It would probably be a better fit for medium or larger dogs. Even so, it gets the job done and is a good option for introducing dogs to regular dental care.

The easiest and best tooth brush!
Color: Pink (2-pack)
Ive tried several other dog tooth brushes for my 74 lbs Coonhound. This style and brand is the only one that is easy and works for us. It's easy to move your finger around and all sides of it have the cleaning nodules so no matter which way your finger turns, they are always touching her teeth. I like to try to open her mouth and get the inside of the mouth too. I loop my finger around her fangs. It is soft without harder parts so it doesn't make her pull away. This brush is perfect. It's a good quality and comes with a container for storage.

Total GAME CHANGER - incredibly effective toothbrush for dogs
Color: Clear (2-pack)
This silicon finger brush is incredibly easy to use - and so EFFECTIVE (more on that in the last paragraph this review). At first, it seemed a little hard to get on my finger but I simply got my finger wet first under the faucet and it slipped right on with virtually no effort. And once on, it's easy to take off but doesn't slip off accidentally when in use - so - perfect! Quick & simply to clean - rinses off in the sink in seconds, and ready to use the next time. And, my dog not only lets me clean her teeth - she actually like it (this from a dog who used to hate it when I would try to brush her teeth with a regular doggy toothbrush). This silicon "brush" is incredibly maneuverable - way more so than standard dog toothbrushes or regular finger brushes. So much so it makes it super easy to not only get those normally impossible to reach back molars - AND - even the back sides of the teeth! With a normal dog tooth brush (or finger brush) my dog's clamping down made that impossible. Now, it's not only possible - it's easy! Our dog's canine teeth had build-up but it was not until I pulled her gums back and looked at her back molars that I saw how bad things had gotten - and we have a young dog! Her back molars not only had build-up but some appeared to be stained a tea colored brown that did not come off with my fingernail. It was pretty disheartening and I felt terrible. How could this happen so quickly? The vet said it was plaque (and not yet tartar) and that it wasn't bad enough to warrant a professional cleaning - yet - but that I needed to do a better job brushing. He said: "I can see exactly where your brushing stops" (referring to the condition on the back molars which I had not been able to do with a regular brush as my dog just wasn't having it). Tips: here's what's working for us. Instead of squeezing out a pea sized blog of tooth paste onto this brush, I put a tiny dab - that it's - on the very tip of the brush and focus my efforts on two of our dog's worst teeth on one side - on top and then on the bottom. Then I put another small dab and repeat on the other side of her mouth with 4 teeth on that side. Then, I use another small dab and focus work on another group of teeth. All totaled, I'm using maybe 4 to 6 very small dabs of dog toothpaste, probably half the size of pea collectively, perhaps less. That's it. However much you choose to use is up to you - be sure and use an amount that's safe and effective for your dog. Effectiveness: this works and it works well! In just 3 days using the same vanilla flavored enzymatic toothpaste by CET I was seeing improvement. By day 7, that improvement was so obvious I was actually surprised by how much better they looked. It's now been a little over two weeks and they are looking considerably better! Conservatively, I'm thinking a 50% improvement. Not bad for just 2 weeks, right? I'm actually think I'm going to be able to completely reverse things - we'll see. I'll try and update this review again in a few weeks and let you know how it's looking but in the meantime, I am absolutely thrilled with this brush. I paid $16 and it came 2 in a pack) and the first (and only one) I've been using still looks brand new after it's rinsed off. All in all - this brush is a game changer! I can now brush our dogs back teeth and even the back sides of her teeth, all in less than a couple minutes a day.
