Philodendron Pink Princess (Philodendron Erubescens)

This is the plant where the red hue (or blush, the meaning of erubescens) really comes to the forefront. The soft pink foliage of this plant comes from the plant’s natural secondary metabolites, but they add an extra flare to your home garden and can be the perfect match for plant lovers with a bit of a dramatic or artistic air. Unlike the black cardinal (also Philodendron erubescens), this plant does tend to climb and trail, and so you should prepare your funky version of a trellis or hanging basket.

How to Care for Philodendron Pink Princess?

These philodendrons don’t tend to be picky, as long as their conditions are relatively consistent, due to the adaptable nature that has them established Colombia. They don’t like drying out, but can handle it better than some other plants, and though they appreciate some organic fertilizers, they don’t require it to live quite happily by your desk at home.
