Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out before watering again, then give her a thorough drink. Checking every 5–7 days is a good rhythm. When in doubt, wait it out — she'd rather be a little thirsty than sitting in soggy soil.

Your Florida Ghost wants bright, indirect light — an east- or south-facing window with a sheer curtain is ideal. Keep her out of direct sun, which will scorch those pale new leaves fast. She'll tolerate lower light, but growth slows and the ghosting effect fades.

Keep her cosy between 18–29°C (65–85°F). Protect her from cold drafts, radiators, and sudden temperature swings — this tropical beauty likes consistency.

Intermediate

New leaves unfurl pale, almost white, before gradually deepening to green over a week or two — that's the signature "ghosting" effect, not a health issue. Bright indirect light helps bring out the most dramatic contrast.
