Philodendron 'Pink Princess'

Pink Princess is a foliage philodendron selected for dark leaves patterned with hot-pink variegation. Terra Nova lists this exact selection for part shade and gives a mature size of 48 inches tall and 25 inches wide. ## Foliage and placement The dark leaves make the pink pattern especially noticeable. The plant is grown as an unusual indoor or container specimen, and the breeder notes that good light improves the variegation and pink tones. Terra Nova lists USDA hardiness zones 10–13; outside warm climates, protect it from cold and grow it indoors. ## Growing conditions Use a fertile, humus-rich, moist but well-drained medium. Bright indirect light supports foliage color indoors, while sheltered partial shade is suitable outdoors in warm weather. Water when the potting mix begins to dry at the surface, then allow excess water to drain; saturated compost can damage philodendron roots. Keep it warm and away from cold drafts. The named selection is associated with Terra Nova's plant profile, whose published dimensions and zone range are specific to Pink Princess. ## Maintenance Wipe the leaves when dusty and repot when roots fill the container. Philodendron sap can irritate skin and the plant should be kept away from children and pets that may chew it.
