This rare, climbing Philodendron, characterised by deep green, pointed leaves with bubblegum pink variations is truly unique. Doing best in a warm, humid spot, ‘Pink Princess’ is a low maintenance choice for anyone new to growing houseplants who is looking for a touch of the rainforest with a twist. The plant is best supported by, and will cling to, a mossy pole as it matures.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Water freely when in growth, but keep drier in winter. Mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity and every so often put it under a cold shower to wash off the leaves. Make sure the winter temperatures stay above 10°C, and repot every couple of years.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin/eye irritant/allergen
