Know before you buy
To keep the white and pink variegation vibrant, place this plant in bright, indirect light. Too little light may cause the leaves to revert to solid green, while direct sun can scorch the delicate white sections.
No, the Philodendron White Princess is toxic if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
This plant prefers a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again to ensure the roots stay healthy and avoid waterlogging.
While it appreciates medium humidity, it is quite adaptable to standard indoor conditions. If your home is particularly dry, you can mist the leaves occasionally or place it near a humidifier to keep the foliage looking its best.
With proper care, the White Princess can reach a mature height of up to 48 inches. Its growth rate is moderate, so it will gradually fill out your space over time.
You should plan to repot your Philodendron every two years. Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure proper aeration and prevent root rot as the plant grows.
