Philodendron Erubescens 'Pink Princess'
The gorgeous and highly sought after pink princess philodendron is at the top of many plant collectors' wish lists, and for good reason. Characterized by deep green, heart-shaped leaves with bubblegum pink variegation, the pink princess is truly unique in the plant world. While it can be easily confused with the Philodendron pink congo, the variegation of the pink princess is stable as it occurs due to natural processes, whereas the pink congo variegation is a result of chemicals that are injected into the leaves, usually reverting back to green a couple months after being purchased.
Native to Columbia, the pink princess philodendron is a tropical aroid in the Araceae family. Despite its high price tag, this colorful plant is actually pretty easy to care for.
Basic Care
Providing your pink princess philodendron with enough light is the most important factor influencing the amount of variegation it will have. Choose a location that receives several hours of bright, indirect light. NO DIRECT SUN, this will burn the leaves. A couple hours of direct light will help increase its variegation. If you do not have a location in your home that receives enough light, buying a grow light for this plant is HIGHLY recommended. Without enough light the pink princesses leaves will quickly begin reverting back to green and it will lose its stunning variegation. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings and then water well.
