Know before you buy
Once your plant arrives, gently rinse the roots and pot it immediately in a well-draining, organic-rich aroid potting mix. Keep the soil lightly moist and place it in a spot with bright, indirect light to help it recover from transit.
Yes, bright, indirect light is essential to maintain the vibrant pink variegation. Too little light may cause the plant to produce more green leaves, while direct sun can scorch the foliage.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
Yes, the Pink Princess is a vining plant. As it matures, it will benefit from a moss pole or trellis to support its climbing habit and encourage larger, more robust leaf development.
Water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Because this plant is not drought-tolerant, avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but ensure your pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
Consistent bright light is the primary driver for variegation. If the plant becomes leggy or loses its shape, strategic pruning can stimulate new, fuller growth from the nodes.
