Philodendron Pink Princess Node Propagated

The Philodendron 'Pink Princess' (Philodendron erubescens) is a highly coveted tropical aroid prized for its dramatic, dark green to near-black heart-shaped leaves splashed with vibrant pink variegation. Because it is a natural climber, it thrives beautifully when given vertical support.

Essential Care & Highlights

• Light for Variegation: Requires 6 to 8 hours of bright, indirect light daily. Insufficient light causes the new leaves to revert to solid green, while direct sunlight will quickly scorch the delicate pink patches.

• Watering & Soil: Prone to root rot, so it is best to use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix (containing perlite, orchid bark, and peat). Water only when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feels completely dry.

• Humidity & Support: Thrives in high humidity (60%+) to prevent the protective sheaths from drying out and trapping emerging leaves. Training it up a moss pole encourages larger, more heavily variegated foliage.
