Know before you buy
This is a natural part of the plant's growth cycle. New leaves emerge a bright, ghostly white, transition to a soft mint green, and eventually mature into a deep, solid green.
As a vining aroid, the Florida Ghost will grow best and produce larger leaves if given a support structure to climb. While it can trail, providing a pole encourages its natural, sculptural growth habit.
You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray, or placing it near a humidifier. It thrives in environments with consistent moisture, making it a great candidate for a bright bathroom or a dedicated plant cabinet.
No, this plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best kept in an area of your home that is inaccessible to curious pets.
This means placing the plant near a window where it receives plenty of ambient light but no direct, harsh sun rays. A spot near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing window is usually ideal.
