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'.

Fast and easy refund.
I purchased an air fryer and got a 3 year warranty on it from Asirion. The air fryer stopped working and I was expecting the warranty process to be complicated and didn’t have high hopes for getting a replacement. I was surprised though, not only was the website easy to navigate and user friendly, they responded immediately. I got a printable return postage receipt, dropped off the air fryer at a UPS store, and within a couple of days got a full refund in my Amazon account. Great fast service.

Be careful purchasing this.
We bought this for an ice-cream maker - they never sent the initial startup you bought this email. So I had to fight with them that yeah we bought it. Then they classified it as an ice-maker - important for pictures later . Then we had bought the machine and insurance partially with gift cards not a big deal, right? - well, the machine cost $300ish but showed on the receipt total as $180ish - guess which amount they wanted to pay out for? Then they wanted pictures showing serial number and such on the machine. I sent them pictures of each side clearly showing no stickers. Take more pictures of the front and top because what you took wasn't good - MAYBE because you thought it was an ice-maker... Take a picture showing what doesn't work - it will spin and move, but the compressor broke so it won't get cold - NOT GETTING COLD is something I can't show... it was fun being told to take a video showing it not getting cold only to tell them yeah no I am not wasting my time doing that. There was a lot of repetitive stuff but they did eventually pay out the correct amount. Would I buy it again? Yes. Is it as easy as they make it out to be? No. Did I WANT to give this review? No, because I didn't want to leave a negative review. I am a very charming, nice, and personable guy that didn't want to be mean. Keep pestering me enough about leave a review about how great we are and you will get the review you probably did not want.

You can trust ASURION warranties!
ASURION was fantastic as always. Purchased a Nespresso machine for my DIL which she absolutely loved and two months before warranty expired it started leaking which broke her heart. ASURION stood behind their warranty and refunded purchase price which I transferred to my DIL so she could purchase another machine. That’s why I never hesitate to buy their warranty’s and why I love shopping Amazon! Both companies represent their clients well. Thanks to both!
