Philodendron Pink Princess
IntermediatePhilodendron erubescens
A hugely popular philodendron with pink variegation on dark green leaves. Price surged due to Instagram.
About
Philodendron 'Pink Princess' is a cultivar believed to originate from Philodendron erubescens, distinguished by its striking dark green to near-black glossy leaves marked with irregular patches of vivid pink variegation. It became one of the most talked-about houseplants of the late 2010s following explosive popularity on Instagram, with its rarity driving prices to exceptional heights. Bright indirect light is essential to maintain the pink variegation; lower light causes reversion toward solid green. Water when the soil dries; avoid overwatering. Growth is relatively slow, and each new leaf presents a different variegation pattern — part of the plant's enduring appeal. If all-green leaves persist, moving the plant to a brighter location or removing the growing tip may encourage re-emergence of variegated growth. The dramatic contrast between deep, near-black foliage and vivid pink makes this a defining collector's plant of contemporary houseplant culture.
