Philodendron Pink Princess Care
Watering
Ensure that the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. Let the soil dry slightly in between watering. Water your Philodendron Pink Princess every 3 - 7 days or when the top 2 - 3" of the top soil is dry.
Sunlight
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and is best suited for west-facing windows. However, be sure not to place the Philodendron Pink Princess too close to the window or in direct sunlight as it might burn the pink foliage on its leaves. The higher the variegation of pink leaves, the easier it is for the leaves to be burnt by sunlight.
Temperature
The Pink Princess prefers warm temperatures between 60°F and 75°F.
Humidity
High humidity levels are ideal for the Philodendron Pink Princess.
Toxicity
The Philodendron Pink Princess is a toxic to cats, dogs and children, potentially deadly plant that can cause dermatitis and stomach upsets to those who come into contact with it. If your cats or dogs like to chew on plants, keep your Philodendron away from them because it is poisonous if they ingest the leaves.
Fertilizer
During the growing season, feed your Pink Princess once a month with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Fertilizer is not required from November to March.
Growth Rate

Pruning
