🌸 Pink Princess Philodendron 🌸

The Pink Princess is a beloved, high-end philodendron hybrid famous for its deep burgundy leaves splashed with shades of bubblegum pink. Each leaf is completely unique 🌸 some nearly half pink, others subtly marbled. Slow-growing but stunning, this plant is a showstopper for collectors and thrives beautifully when trained in kokedama form.

Provide bright, indirect light to maintain those bold pink patches. Too little light causes reversion (leaves turning fully green), while too much direct sun may scorch the pink variegation.
Morning or filtered eastern light is best. Rotate the plant occasionally to encourage even coloration.

• Water when the moss feels light or slightly dry, usually every 7–10 days.
• Use around ¾ to 1 cup of water, poured slowly so the moss absorbs evenly.
• Rotate the kokedama to hydrate all sides of the root system.
• Mist the foliage lightly every few days for extra humidity.
• Never submerge or soak for long periods 💧 the roots need airflow.

If leaves droop or curl slightly, your Princess is ready for a drink.

Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) using ¼-strength balanced fertilizer.
Too much fertilizer can mute pink tones, so lighter feedings are better.
Skip feeding in winter when growth slows.

• Prefers 70–85 °F (21–29 °C) with moderate to high humidity (60–80%).
• Tolerates typical indoor air but thrives with misting or a small humidifier.
• Keep away from cold drafts or air conditioning.

• Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to bring out their shine.
• Remove any leaves that revert completely to green to encourage variegated growth.
• Prune lightly to shape or promote new growth points.
• The Pink Princess grows best in kokedama for 8–12 months before needing a rewrap.

When roots start poking through or the moss dries unevenly, it’s time for a refresh.

Rewrap or repot when:

• Roots emerge through the moss or ball loses shape.
• The plant becomes too top-heavy.
• The moss no longer holds moisture well.

If potting traditionally, use a chunky, airy aroid mix (bark, perlite, and coco coir).

The Pink Princess originated in the 1970s as a rare sport mutation of Philodendron erubescens. For decades, it was considered nearly unobtainable 💫 until modern propagation made it accessible again. Each plant’s pink pattern is naturally unpredictable, making every one a true one-of-a-kind treasure.

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh sun to preserve pink variegation.
• Water: About ¾–1 cup weekly, when moss feels light. Rotate while watering.
• Humidity: 60–80% ideal; mist regularly.
• Temperature: 70–85 °F; protect from drafts.
• Feeding: Monthly, ¼-strength balanced fertilizer.
• Maintenance: Wipe leaves, prune reverted growth, rotate for even light.
• Kokedama Lifespan: 8–12 months before rewrapping or repotting.
• When to Refresh: If roots break through or moss stops retaining water.
• Difficulty: Moderate 🪴 best for plant lovers who enjoy pampering their collection.
• Toxicity: Toxic if ingested by pets or children.
