Philo 'Pink Princess'
Philodendron 'Pink Princess' (Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess') is a rare and highly sought-after variety known for its striking pink and green variegated leaves. Proper care is essential to maintain its vibrant coloration.
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light.
Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the pink variegation.
Low light may reduce variegation and lead to more green growth.
Watering
Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering.
Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains out—avoid waterlogging.
Reduce watering in fall and winter when growth slows.
Temperature
Ideal temperature: 65–85°F.
Cannot tolerate temperatures below 55°F.
Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and air conditioners.
Fertilizing
Feed during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks.
Avoid over-fertilizing to prevent leaf discoloration.
Do not fertilize in fall and winter when growth slows.
