Philodendron erubescens Pink Princess Care & Info Guide

Horty Hints

Think tropical showers. Let the top half of soil dry out before drenching and draining. Squeeze the pot gently to prevent waterlogged soil and root rot.

In the pink! This plant likes lots of bright indirect sunlight to grow and maintain that stunning pink variegation. If you notice its leaves starting to dull, move to a brighter location.

Banish the brown. If you notice browning edges your Pink Princess needs more humidity. Move to a bathroom or kitchen or give it the occasional misting.

Light

Philodendron erubescens likes bright, indirect light to keep it pinky and perky. It can tolerate the occasional few hours of direct sunlight but be careful not to scorch the leaves. The pink variegation will develop brown spots if the light is too harsh.

Watering

Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly. Allow the water to drain out and squeeze the grow pot a little to remove excess water to avoid waterlogged soil as Pink Princess can be susceptible to root rot.
