Philodendron 'Florida Bronze'

Philodendron 'Florida Bronze' opens bronze to coppery new leaves that harden into deeper green on a climbing Philodendron stem. One plant can show bronze, olive-green, and older green leaves at the same time, especially while several growth points are active.

Growth comes from a node-forming stem with aerial roots, and the leaf outline becomes more defined on supported stems. Young plants often carry smaller, simpler blades. As the stem climbs and roots more firmly, the leaves can become broader, more divided, and more deeply lobed.

Bronze leaves, textured petioles and climbing growth

  • Growth habit: Climbing aroid with aerial roots along the stem and better stem alignment when grown upward.
  • Leaf colour: Fresh leaves emerge bronze to coppery green, then harden into darker green as they mature.
  • Leaf shape: Juvenile foliage starts simpler, while supported growth becomes more lobed and cut.
  • Petioles: Reddish tones and a lightly textured surface can appear along the leaf stalks.
  • Pot and support: A stable pot and early support keep the climbing stem better aligned as it gains height.

Black Cardinal and Florida parentage

Philodendron 'Florida Bronze' is commonly described in cultivation as a Philodendron 'Black Cardinal' × Philodendron 'Florida' hybrid. Its Florida parent traces back to Robert “Bob” McColley’s Philodendron squamiferum × Philodendron pedatum hybrid work in Florida in the 1950s. Philodendron pedatum (Hook.) Kunth was published in Enumeratio Plantarum 3:49 in 1841, while Philodendron squamiferum Poepp. was published in Nova Genera ac Species Plantarum 3:87 in 1845.

The Florida side contributes divided leaves, aerial-root climbing, and textured petioles. The Black Cardinal side is linked with darker juvenile colouring, matching the bronze to coppery flush on fresh leaves. Hardened leaves naturally settle into green, while each new growth point brings the warm colour back again.

Care for new growth and root health

  • Light: Give bright filtered light with protection from harsh midday sun. Bronze new leaves are tender and can mark quickly after sudden sun exposure.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly once the upper part of the substrate has started to dry. The roots need steady moisture during active growth, with enough air around the lower nodes.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky aroid mix with coco chips or bark, perlite or pumice, and a moisture-holding base. The mix should drain quickly while staying lightly moist around active roots.
  • Pot choice: Use a pot with drainage holes and enough depth or weight to hold the climbing stem and support securely.
  • Support: Add a pole, plank, or trellis while the plant is still manageable. Attached aerial roots steady the stem as the leaves enlarge.
  • Humidity: Aim for moderate to high humidity, especially while new leaves are expanding. Around 50–70% helps soft bronze leaves open with fewer dry edges.
  • Temperature: Keep warm at roughly 18–28°C. Cold roots and wet substrate can damage lower nodes and slow new leaf production.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertiliser. Reduce feeding when growth slows and flush the pot if mineral salts collect in the substrate.
  • Repotting: Repot one size up when roots fill the pot or watering becomes difficult to balance. Keep the support steady so attached aerial roots remain intact.
  • Growth rate: Expect moderate climbing growth once the plant is rooted, warm, and supported. Larger leaves and clearer divisions develop on a stable climbing stem.
  • Pruning: Remove yellowing or damaged leaves and trim stretched stems above a node if reshaping is needed. Healthy cut sections can be used for propagation.
  • Placement: Place it where the climbing stem has room to extend and fresh leaves do not press against glass, walls, shelves, or neighbouring plants.
  • Semi-hydroponics: This Philodendron can adapt to mineral or semi-hydro substrates if roots are transitioned gradually and the reservoir is kept clean.
  • Propagation: Propagate from stem cuttings with at least one node. Cuttings with aerial-root nubs often establish more quickly than bare-node pieces.

Brown new leaves, soft nodes and small foliage

  • Brown patches on new leaves: Check for direct sun, dry roots during unfurling, or handling damage while the bronze leaf is still soft.
  • Yellowing lower leaves: Inspect the root ball and stem base. Persistent wetness in a dense mix often shows first as older leaves turning yellow.
  • Soft nodes or blackened stem sections: Move the plant warmer, remove damaged tissue, and check whether the substrate is staying wet around the lower stem.
  • Small simple leaves: Add support and improve filtered light. A loose stem that hangs or leans often keeps producing smaller juvenile foliage.
  • Stuck leaves: Low humidity, irregular watering, or dried cataphylls can trap new growth. Keep moisture more even and let leaves loosen naturally.
  • Pests: Check petioles, cataphylls, and leaf undersides for thrips, spider mites, scale, and mealybugs before new growth becomes distorted.

Pet and child safety

Philodendron 'Florida Bronze' is not pet-safe or child-safe if chewed. Like other Philodendron, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can irritate the mouth, throat, and digestive tract. Sap may also irritate sensitive skin, so wash your hands after pruning or taking cuttings.

Name meaning and botanical background

Philodendron comes from Greek roots often translated as “tree-loving”, referring to the climbing and tree-associated growth seen in many species. 'Florida Bronze' refers to the warm bronze colour seen on fresh leaves. The Florida parent connects this plant with Philodendron pedatum, whose epithet refers to a foot-like divided shape, and Philodendron squamiferum, whose name means scale-bearing in reference to its textured petioles.

Bronze-flushed new leaves, divided green foliage, and climbing Florida hybrid growth define Philodendron 'Florida Bronze'.

Accurate and easy to use
Size: 3 kg - Normal Size, Size: 3 kg - Normal Size
At the moment, I can't think of anything I dislike about this scale. The buttons are responsive, the measurements are accurate (I checked the readings with a couple of calibration weights from a scientific scale), the displays are clear. Operation in daily use is very simple. 1. Turn on scale 2. After self test, place carafe and filter 3. Press "T" to tare 4. Add grinds 5. Press "||>" to weigh the grinds. This automatically tares the scale again and sets the timer to standby. It also activates the coffee to water ratio display 6. Add water and the timer automatically starts so you get a precise bloom time. The added water is weighed and displayed as you pour and the coffee to water ratio display gives you an instantaneous reading, so you can brew your perfect cup of coffee each time. The scale has a large capacity and precise resolution so it works for single small cups to large pots. All in all, the best scale I've tried so far and might pick up another one when they go on sale (again). Highly recommended.

Mostly Great, But With One Problem
Size: 3 kg - Normal Size
Overall, this is a good scale and I do like it. However, it has one flaw that I'll mention later. First, the things I like. This is a nice looking scale. I like the design and the different colored displays for time and weights. The stainless steel on black is a classic look and very stylish in my opinion. The size is just right for brewing with French press or Chemex style brewers. It has a lot of plastic, but that is how all scales of this size are, especially in this price range. Having the ratio displayed is really nice. I use that about as much as looking at the grams during a pour over. I've also been using the automatic timing feature. I didn't think I'd like that, but it is actually quite useful. I've been using it for a month off of the first charge so I think that the battery life is good. Its also nice to be able to turn off the sound so I don't have to listen to beeping early in the morning when the rest of the family is sleeping. Being able to change the units of measure is great. I've weighed coffee, baking ingredients and even small packages prior to mailing them. It handles anything under 6 lbs. The display is sensitive and reads quickly. Which leads me to the one negative about this thing. When it is weighing room temperature items like beans or an empty brewer, its accurate and gives a steady reading. However, when you start introducing hot items (like brewing coffee which is what this is for) it starts to drop weight by 0.1g every 10 to 20 seconds. Even with the included silicone cover. I've added a cork trivet and another silicone pad under the brewer which didn't seem to help much. Eventually they warm up and the issue starts. Any raise in temp causes the unit to start lowering the weight as previously described. That's why I only gave it four stars. While this is annoying to see, it doesn't seem to mess with the overall brewing ratio or mess up my coffee brewing at all. By the time its doing this, I've usually made my pours and am in the 4 to 5 minute steeping period prior to finishing and decanting. At that point, I'm really only using the timer function anyway. Therefore, I didn't give it a lower rating since I like everything else about it and its not very expensive. All things considered, I think its a good value for the money and gets the job done.

Must have on kitchen
Size: 2 kg - Mini Size
It's exactly as described. Works great so far! I bought to make matcha 🍵 when measuring is quite important for the recipe, but also used for other measurements like yeast salt etc. Really great to have silicone mat for hot products, or just hot water that I use for matcha.
