The Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron is a stunning plant that is relatively easy to grow and brightens any room with its vibrant foliage. This hybrid of Philodendron squamiferum and Philodendron pedatum features deeply lobed leaves, predominantly a medium green hue, accented with splashes of golden yellow. The variegation pattern is random, resulting in some leaves displaying yellow accents while others exhibit bold expanses of sunny yellow. The Florida Beauty Variegated is a self-heading Philodendron with a compact and upright growth habit.
Best Locations For Growing Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron
Rooms with southern exposure are a good choice for the Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron. The extra humidity found in kitchens and bathrooms also benefits this plant. While Philodendrons are adaptable and can thrive in various environments, increased sunlight and humidity promote their success. All Philodendron species are mildly harmful to humans and toxic to pets like dogs and cats. Be aware of the potential danger of bringing this plant into a home with little ones or pets.
Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron Sunlight Requirements
The Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron is a cultivar from the Sunshine State, so it should come as no surprise that this Philodendron thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Increased sunlight encourages the plant to continuously produce new foliage and maintain its striking variegation. The ideal spot for this Philodendron is a few feet away from a south-facing window.
Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron Care
Prune the Florida Beauty if the stems become leggy. Trimming overgrowth promotes a fuller, denser appearance. Repot this Philodendron every other year or when it shows signs of being root-bound. Choose a container that is one to two inches larger with drainage holes, and use a moist, well-draining potting mix. As a climbing plant, the Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron benefits from support, so consider using a trellis or a moss pole.
Watering Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron
Philodendrons have medium water requirements. Water the Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron when the top few inches of potting soil are dry. Factors such as humidity and sunlight can affect how quickly the potting mix dries, so check the soil moisture regularly.
While the Florida Beauty Variegated prefers increased humidity, it can live comfortably in average humidity levels. Below-average humidity may cause browning along the edges of the leaves, so consider increasing humidity if you live in a naturally arid climate.
Feeding Florida Beauty Variegated Philodendron
Keep your Florida Beauty looking its best with regular fertilizer applications. A balanced plant food provides comprehensive nutrition that supports the plant's overall health. Consider using a water-soluble fertilizer, which is easy to apply during watering. Fertilize Philodendrons monthly during the spring and summer.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
