Know before you buy
To maintain the signature pink variegation, place your plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. Too little light can cause the plant to revert to solid green, while direct sun may scorch the delicate leaves.
No, the Philodendron Pink Princess is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to your pets.
Water your plant when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent water from sitting at the bottom, which can lead to root rot.
While it can adapt to standard household humidity, this Philodendron thrives in higher humidity levels. If you live in a dry climate, consider placing it near a humidifier or grouping it with other plants to create a more favorable microclimate.
Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, such as one formulated for aroids. A blend containing peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal for providing the necessary aeration and moisture retention.
