Highly Variegated Pink Princess, otherwise known as Marble Pink Princess is a rare and beautiful Philodendron plant with striking pink and white variegation. Here are some care tips to help you keep your Highly Variegated Pink Princess healthy and thriving:
Light: Highly Variegated Pink Princess prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the leaves. If the plant receives too little light, the variegation may fade, and the plant may produce more green leaves.
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Do not let the soil completely dry out between watering, but avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Highly Variegated Pink Princess loves high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant or by placing a tray of water near the plant. You can also mist the leaves regularly to help increase humidity.
Temperature: Highly Variegated Pink Princess prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep the plant away from drafts and cold windows.
Fertilizer: You can fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Do not fertilize during the dormant season (fall and winter).
Pruning: You can prune the plant to control its size and shape or to remove any damaged or yellowing leaves. This will also help promote new growth.
Repotting: Highly Variegated Pink Princess grows slowly and may not need to be repotted very often. Use a well-draining soil mix and a pot that is one size larger than the current pot.
Pests: Highly Variegated Pink Princess can be prone to spider mites, mealybugs, and scale insects. Inspect the plant regularly and treat any pests promptly with an appropriate insecticide.
Soil: Highly Variegated Pink Princess prefers a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter. You can use a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil to create a soil mix that is well-draining and nutrient-rich.
Following these care tips will help your Highly Variegated Pink Princess thrive and stay healthy. With proper care, this unique and beautiful plant can be a stunning addition to any indoor garden.
