🌱🌱 Intermediate "A little picky - but worth it"

Meet the Philodendron 'Pink Princess' — one of the plants that helped kick off the whole rare-houseplant collecting movement, and still one of the most requested variegated aroids around. Deep near-black leaves are marked with irregular, saturated pink variegation that can range from a modest fleck to a half-pink leaf, depending on the individual cutting.

'Pink Princess' is a hybrid cultivar of Philodendron erubescens, a fast-growing climbing vine with parentage tracing to Central and South America. Unlike many variegated plants, its pink sections hold real chlorophyll alongside the pigment, so it tends to be a bit more forgiving of the variegated portions than a pure-white (albo) variegation would be.

📦 Shipping Callout
This plant ships potted in its nursery pot. Please allow 1–2 weeks for the plant to settle in after shipping — some stress or leaf curling in the first few days is normal.

Plant Characteristics
• Deep green-to-near-black leaves with irregular pink variegation
• Fast-growing climbing vine — give it a moss pole or trellis as it matures
• Toxic to pets and humans if ingested
• Best variegation shows with bright, filtered light — too little light and new leaves grow back green

Water: Water when the soil is dry about 2 inches down, then drain thoroughly. Avoid both soggy soil and prolonged dryness. Distilled or rainwater is preferred over hard tap water.
Feeding: Light, balanced liquid fertilizer during active spring/summer growth.
