Looking for a plant that can add a pop of colour and texture to your indoor or outdoor space? Look no further than the Philodendron Pink Princess! This stunning plant produces variegated leaves in shades of deep purple, burgundy, and rich green with light pink flecks, making it a real showstopper. Not only is it visually stunning, but it’s also a low-maintenance, hardy plant that can thrive in a variety of conditions.

Native to the humid forests of South America, the Philodendron Pink Princess thrives in a warm and well-lit position with bright indirect light. It’s important to keep it away from drafts and heating/cooling units as they won’t like cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

When it comes to watering, it’s important to maintain a regular watering routine. During summer, keep the soil moist but not soggy, and check the soil moisture level by poking your finger into the top 5 cm of potting mix before watering. If it feels wet, let it dry out for longer. Overwatering can lead to fungal issues or root rot, so it’s best to err on the side of caution and water once a week, using just enough water to start to see some draining from the bottom of the pot. During winter, when the plant isn’t in an active growing phase, you should reduce watering frequency.

Proper drainage is also essential for the Philodendron Pink Princess. Make sure that whatever vessel your plant is in has sufficient holes in the bottom to allow excess water to freely drain from the pot and away from the plant’s roots.

In terms of humidity, while many Philodendrons aren’t as fussy as some other aroids, they will appreciate moderate humidity. Grouping them together, using a pebble tray, or investing in a small humidifier can all help to provide the rainforest climate they thrive in. Misting with a spray bottle can also improve humidity temporarily, but be careful not to overdo it, as excessive misting can lead to fungal issues.

When it comes to fertilising, feed your Philodendron Pink Princess with liquid fertiliser fortnightly over the warm, growing period and not at all over the cooler winter months.

Finally, it’s a good idea to wipe down the plant’s leaves once a month using a damp cloth to clean away any dust that has collected and may be preventing the leaves from breathing. You can also prune off any damaged or dying leaves using a sharp pair of scissors or secateurs.

Overall, the Philodendron Pink Princess is a stunning and low-maintenance plant that is sure to add some personality to your indoor or outdoor space. Whether you’re a seasoned plant parent or a beginner, this plant is a great choice. Order yours today and enjoy its beauty for years to come!
