Philodendron erubescens Pink Princess
Incredible, healthy tubestock plants or your money back.
Description
Philodendron erubescens Pink Princess.
This one for all the pink lovers out there.
She's as rare as she is variegated. Her deep green to blackish and pink coloured leaf is what every grower is looking for - pinker, please!
No two patterns are the same and individual plants display varying amounts of pink through the leaves. Some leaves have large pink splashes, and other leaves are plain dark green. This is the fun part of owning a Pink Princess - every new leaf is a surprise.
We offer a larger Pink Princess plant with Pot option but be sure to get in quickly when you see this one in stock because it's very popular.
Variegation is what you're after - so we will make sure the plant you receive has at least one pink splash. Note: plants can revert back to original form. Read more about plant variegation here.
Caring for her is easy. She's happy in bright, indirect light and enjoys damp (but not wet) soils - allow it to dry out between waterings. Good light is needed in order to maximise the colouration in Pink Princess, just don’t place her in full sun otherwise you will cause damage - her pink areas are more sensitive to the sun and will burn easily.
Pink Princess is a vining plant by nature, so be sure to give it a trellis or post to climb on. As it grows, loosely tie the vine to the support structure.
Yes, you want her to have pinker than pink leaves but be careful what you wish for! All pink leaves have no chlorophyll (green) and if you don’t look after her, she will slowly decline. No chlorophyll means it will be hard for your plant to sustain itself as the plant is pretty much starving herself. Balance in non-variegated and variegated leaves on your plant is always best.
If your plant has started to grow all green leaves or all pink leaves, you’ll need to prune her back a bit. Simply prune back to the next leaf that has balance variegation.
Quick Facts:

What to use me for: Beautiful indoor plant
-
I grow to: 1m tall
- Where to place me: I like bright, indirect sunlight but can also handle darker spots indoors
- Watering conditions: I don't like too much water, make sure the top layer of the soil dries out before watering again
- Soil conditions: I do best in a soil mixture high in organic matter. You can also use your favourite potting mix, but be sure to add a good amount of perlite to it to make it nice and airy.

Special Needs: I am from the tropics and like humid conditions so make sure you keep me away from cool drafts. Use a damp cloth to keep the foliage looking shiny and fresh.

Keeping your plants alive the first 30 days is critical. Don't worry, I’ll guide you through
Let me kick off with watering.
Succulents don’t like a lot of water and long periods of drought won’t hurt yours one bit, they’re the best type of plant for forgetful folk, or those that are away from home a fair bit, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t given him a drink yet. One of the most common mistakes people make is watering them too much! The best potting mix for succulents is a well draining one. Using a good potting mix of porous soil for succulents is super important to prevent overwatering. Water your succulent when the soil is dry. Soak it thoroughly rather than giving it regular sips and always empty excess water from the saucer as it will rot the roots. If you’re struggling try one of our self-watering pots they make a plant killer look like a pro! In winter succulents need even less water. You can touch the soil each week and if it’s even a bit damp then leave it alone and try again the following week. Succulents need little moisture and although it seems cruel, a sure-fire way to kill your beauty is by watering it frequently. This will turn it to mush.
If in doubt, leave it without.
Don't leaf just yet!
