  • Posted by plantladylin (Sebastian, Florida - Zone 10a) on Oct 18, 2011 7:27 PM concerning plant:
    Pink Princess Philodendron is a hybrid climbing Philodendron with colorful variegated foliage in shades of pink, purple, cream and green. It prefers a warm location with bright light (no direct sun), high humidity and a well draining potting medium. Some people like to allow this plant to trail out of the pot, while others prefer to give it a support for climbing.

    Philodendron 'Pink Princess' variegation is said to be unstable and that was certainly my experience. Although both of my plants were grown in very bright light on my screened pool deck, over time both of them ended losing all variegation and reverted to a dull green color.
