Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light promotes the richest and most consistent pink variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch leaves and fade color.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged; overwatering can lead to root issues.
Soil: Use a well‑draining aroid mix rich in organic matter. Adding perlite or orchid bark enhances aeration and drainage.
Temperature: Prefers stable indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temps below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports vibrant growth and leaf development. Consider a humidity tray or occasional misting in dry environments.
Growth Habit: Upright, bushy, and elegant; responds well to support like stakes or moss poles as it matures.
Pet Safety
Philodendron erubescens ‘Pink Princess’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children. Ingestion can cause oral irritation, swelling, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
