Care Plan for Philodendron Pink Princess

Light:

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its striking pink variegation.
• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves and fade the pink tones. Low light may reduce variegation.

Watering:

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil is dry. Ensure the pot has drainage to avoid waterlogging.
• Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows.

Humidity:

• Thrives in high humidity (50–70%). Use a humidifier, mist occasionally, or place the pot on a pebble tray with water.

Temperature:

• Ideal temperatures are between 18–27°C. Keep away from cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C.

Soil:

• Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for aroids. Mix in perlite or orchid bark for extra aeration.

Fertilising:

• Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilising, as it can damage the roots.

Pruning:

• Trim back leggy growth to encourage a fuller, bushier shape. Remove yellowing or damaged leaves as needed.

Repotting:

• Repot every 1–2 years or when the roots outgrow the pot. Choose a pot with good drainage, slightly larger than the current one.
