The Philodendron Pink Princess is a climbing houseplant grown for its deep green leaves splashed with soft pink and cream. No two leaves share the same pattern, which makes every plant a little different. The young stems add a flash of red, too, which results in very pleasing aesthetics.
Put it in a bright spot out of direct sun, and it will settle happily in a living room, home office, or conservatory. Train it up a moss pole, and you'll get larger, showier leaves. It sits well beside our other rare and unusual plants.
- Climbing habit: grows upwards with support, or trails loosely without it
- Botanical name: Philodendron 'Pink Princess', often sold as Philodendron erubescens
- Indoor only: needs warmth all year and won't survive outdoors in the UK
- Two pot sizes: a 6cm starter plant or a larger plant in a 12cm pot
Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration only and is not included.
As this is a natural product, each plant is individual and may show variation in shape, colour and size. The amount of pink varies naturally from leaf to leaf, and some leaves may be mostly green.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
