What is the plant

Florida Beauty' Variegata, Philodendron hybrid (not a species) has a multi-lobed leaf with a single large lower lobe. The leaves are 6" - 9" i. It is a climber and it needs high humidity to flourish. The two popular types of Philodendron are climbers and non-climbing varieties. The climbers, are suited to the average room as long as you provide firm support for the stems. The climbing Philodendrons produce aerial roots from the stems. Most of the non-climbers are capable of growing into immense plants with large, deeply lobed leaves. These are more suited to buildings with large open spaces. Average warmth is required - not less than 55F in winter.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Average Water Needs; Water regularly; do not overwater
Fertilizer
To help establish your new Florida Variegated Philodendron, fertilize sparingly at least 6 inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time released product. Unfertilized they will tend to grow very slowly. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the plant.
Sunlight
Plant in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Position near to a window where direct sunlight cannot touch the foliage. If the plant gets too much light, the leaves will begin to turn yellow. If the stems are long and leggy without plenty of leaves, the plant is most likely to be receiving insufficient light.
