Pink Princess Philodendron Plants for Sale Online
Pink Princess Philodendron is a rare tropical house plant known for its bright pink and green and white variegated foliage. The species’ natural habitat is the rainforest of Colombia but it has become one of the world’s most popular Philodendron plants, right up there with Split Leaf Philodendron. Prized in the horticultural community for its rare beauty and low-maintenance care regimen, the Pink Princess Philodendron is a trouble-free houseplant with virtually no threat of disease.
Botanically named Philodendron Erubescens 'Pink Princess,' this Blushing Philodendron's care is surprisingly simple. Place your plant in bright indirect light and allow the soil to dry between waterings for best results. Additionally, we recommend planting in a well-draining soil blend and in a pot with drainage holes. The last thing you want is a gorgeous plant's premature death as a result of root rot!
We are often asked how to keep your Pink Princess Philodendron pink, but the truth of the matter is that the lack of chlorophyll cannot be sustained. All pink or primarily pink leaves will eventually fade to darker olive green or black color as the plant matures. If you have a large Philodendron Pink Princess, chances are its foliage is primarily dark with little variegation. If that is the case, you can prune it back and propagate stem cuttings to produce more plants and a way for new leaf growth.
It's nearly impossible not to be transfixed by this plant's heart-shaped leaves and pink variegation. As an easy-to-care-for, stunning houseplant, these tropical beauties will no doubt bring a vibrant flair to your space.

How do I water Philodendron Pink Princess Plants?
Philodendron Pink Princess Plants like to dry out almost completely between watering. They do not like to stay or sit in water. Plants that are watered too often will not survive so if unsure, do not water. Pink Princess Philodendron can go weeks before being watered again. If you are repotting Philodendron Pink Princess, be sure to give it a good soak and allow the water to completely drain from the pot before placing it back in its home.
How do I fertilize Pink Princess Philodendron Plants?
Any all purpose, foliage fertilizer will work for Philodendron Pink Princess.
