Ideal Growing Conditions

• Light:

To maintain its vibrant pink colour, place your Pink Princess in a spot where it receives 4-6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and low light, which may reduce variegation.

• Watering:

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Regular but moderate watering is key. This plant loves humidity, so consider misting the leaves several times a week.

• Temperature:

The Pink Princess prefers temperatures between 18-27°C. Keep it away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

• Pot:

Grow the Philodendron Pink Princess in a 5 to 9-inch pot. Choose a pot or container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

• Soil:

The Philodendron Pink Princess thrives best in a loose, well-drained soil. An ideal combination for its growth is equal parts potting soil and perlite, ensuring the mix is rich, airy, and well-draining to support healthy root development.

Care and Maintenance

• Support:

As the plant grows, it may require support. Use a coir moss stick to help it climb and showcase its beautiful foliage.

• Fertilising:

Feed your Philodendron Pink Princess once a month during the growing season with a diluted fertiliser like Jeevamrutham and fish amino acid. Apply it as a foliar spray to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.

• Pruning:

Pruning helps maintain a bushy, compact shape. Trim leggy growth and remove dead or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.

• Pests:

While the Philodendron Pink Princess is relatively resistant to pests, it can occasionally attract aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, and scale. Regularly inspect your plant and treat any infestations promptly with Neem oil, insecticidal soap, or a bio pest controller to protect its vibrant foliage.

Common Issues and Solutions

• Browning Edges:

Often caused by low humidity. Increase humidity around the plant to prevent further browning.

• Leggy Growth:

If your plant becomes leggy, it’s a sign of insufficient light. Move it to a brighter spot.
Loss of Variegation: Ensure your plant receives enough light to maintain its pink variegation. If leaves turn green, increase the light exposure.

Parts of the Philodendron Pink Princess are toxic if ingested, especially for pets. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
