Know before you buy
Yes, The Royal Sisters arrive as a duo planted together in a single 6-inch pot, creating a layered, variegated display.
These plants require bright, indirect light to thrive and maintain their distinct pink and white coloring. Direct sun should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the variegation to fade.
No, Philodendron erubescens is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep these plants in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
Water these plants when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. Because they prefer a well-draining mix, ensure the pot has drainage holes and avoid letting them sit in standing water.
These plants are classified as intermediate care. While they are not overly demanding, they do require consistent attention to humidity levels and light exposure to keep them looking their best.
You should plan to repot them approximately every two years, ideally in the spring when the plant enters its active growing season. Use a well-draining potting mix amended with perlite and orchid bark to ensure proper aeration.
