Know before you buy
To keep the creamy white marbling vibrant, place your plant in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, too little light may cause the plant to revert to solid green leaves.
No, the White Princess Philodendron is toxic to both humans and pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals or small children.
You should water your plant when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It prefers to be slightly moist but will not tolerate sitting in water, so ensure your pot has proper drainage.
Yes, while it is considered an easy-care plant, it originates from tropical environments and will grow best in higher humidity. You can boost humidity levels by grouping it with other plants, using a humidifier, or placing it on a pebble tray.
The White Princess Philodendron is a vining plant. As it matures, you may want to provide a moss pole or trellis for it to climb, which encourages larger leaf development and a more structured appearance.
