About Pink Princess Philodendron
The Pink Princess Philodendron has developed a cult following in recent years 💕. Known for its famed pink leaves, mature specimens of this plant have sold for thousands of dollars. Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

How to fertilize Pink Princess Philodendron
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Pink Princess Philodendron after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Mealy bugs.. It will only let me put one plant but they were the same plant i got them yesterday and split them. Anyway i got Pwinsess and Pwince from Rona and every pink princess was infested with mealy bugs at there green house i managed to get the least infested, becausei reallyyyy wanted one! But im worried. I know plants like to be acclimated to the new environment before repotted and such but as soon as i got them home i gave them a bath with insecticide soap and changed there soil to get rid of the bugs. Did i do good or with they hate me and still be buggy...

This philodendron Pink Princess had grown and needed to be repotted. Today I noticed that when my kitten got in the house, he broke the top heavy limbs off the plant. How can I save the broken part by rooting and repotting. Beautiful plant hate to lose!! What do I do?

If you love pink, you’ll love philo. Pink princess! They thrive in high humidity & I’ve found they also do well in leca. When given a pole, they’ll put off larger leaves. They do brown / not put out a lot of pink if in too bright of light.

Very beautiful low color Philodendron Pink Princess from American Plant Exchange (more light will give it more color they say). Best price available for a great plant. Shop around for the best plant for you! These babies don’t come cheap. And they prefer distilled water and high humidity. If you’re getting this Pink Princess do yourself and it a favor and get a distiller and a levoit humidifier. They’ll help you give her the proper care!
