Foliage Look

Fruit Flower Look
Not applicable.
Fruit Flower Rules
Do not include flowers or fruits in imagery as they are rarely produced and not representative of the foliage focus.
Growth Habit Rules
Preserve the vining nature; images should show a climbing habit rather than a compact shrub form.
Mature Plant Look
A tall, climbing specimen with large, dramatic, chartreuse-colored lobed leaves trailing up a moss pole.
Mature Stage Morphology
Large, deeply lobed, pedate leaves with distinct reddish-brown petioles, characteristic of the Florida-type lineage.

Plant Faqs
How much light does a Yellow Ghost Philodendron need? It prefers bright, indirect light to keep its vibrant color. Does it need a moss pole?

Soil Look
Dark, chunky, porous substrate with visible bits of bark and perlite.
Starter Stage
Young starter plants typically show smaller, less deeply lobed leaves that may appear more lime-green.
