Pink Princess Low Varigation 12cm

Pink Princess Philodendron (Philodendron erubescens 'Pink Princess')

Common Names in South Africa: Pink Princess Philodendron, Blushing Philodendron, PPP
Overview: Native to South America, the Pink Princess Philodendron is a rare, climbing houseplant with heart-shaped, dark green leaves and subtle pink variegation. Low-variegation plants have minimal pink flecks or patches, often appearing mostly green. Ideal for 1215cm pots or climbing poles in South African homes, it thrives in bright, indirect light, adding a tropical touch.
Quirky Fact: Its shy pink streaks are like a plant blushing at its own beauty, waiting to surprise you with more color as it matures!
Care for Damaged Leaves: Trim damaged or yellow leaves with clean shears to promote new growth. With high humidity, well-draining soil (e.g., potting mix with perlite and orchid bark), and bright indirect light, recovery typically takes 24 weeks. Low variegation may increase with optimal light (8+ hours daily). Safety Note: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing irritation. Sap may irritate skin, so keep away from children and pets.
Availability: Low-variegation Pink Princess is more common and affordable than high-variegation types in South Africa. Available at nurseries like Plantify.co.za or Horti.co.za, often in 1215cm pots, with couriered delivery.
