Water: Philodendron Florida thrives in moist conditions; keep soil consistently moist, watering three times a week. Spray water for humidity and water in the morning. Wipe leaves to prevent sunburn and germs. Avoid tap water; use rainwater or distilled water instead.

Fertilize: Philodendron Florida thrives with regular fertilization, requiring slow-release fertilizer during annual repotting. Additionally, apply liquid fertilizer biweekly, suspending watering one day prior. Two hours post-fertilization, mist leaves with clean water to prevent potential damage from residual fertilizer.

Pruning: Philodendron Florida requires minimal pruning due to its climbing nature. Remove withered or diseased leaves and dead roots during repotting to prevent nutrient loss and encourage the growth of new flowers and leaves.

Propagation: To maintain healthy growth, philodendron Florida should be divided during repotting if too dense, ideally creating 2-3 clusters per pot. This division is recommended every 3 years to prevent growth issues caused by prolonged neglect.
