How to care for a Philodendron Pink Princess
The Philodendron Pink Princess is a plant that, with a little care, will remain beautiful for years. Below, you'll find everything you need to know about light, water, soil, and more.
Light for a Philodendron Pink Princess
The Philodendron Pink Princess loves plenty of light, but preferably not direct sunlight. Ideally, place it near an east- or west-facing window where the light filters in. Too little light can cause the pink color in the leaves to fade, while too much sun can cause brown spots. So find a balance: bright but indirect light is ideal.

How often should you water a Philodendron Pink Princess?
Water the Philodendron Pink Princess only when the top layer of the potting mix feels dry. This is usually about once a week, depending on the season and the humidity in your home. Overwatering can lead to root rot – a common problem with houseplants. Read more about what to do about root rot .
Ideally, use a pot with drainage holes so excess water can drain away. Adding hydroponic clay to the bottom of the pot can also help. Find out how to use hydroponic clays .
The perfect potting soil for a Philodendron Pink Princess
An airy and well-draining potting soil is crucial for this plant. Choose a mixture of potting soil, perlite, and perhaps a little sphagnum moss . This helps retain moisture without suffocating the roots.

Common problems with a Philodendron Pink Princess
Even though the Philodendron Pink Princess is relatively easy to care for, problems can still arise. Below, we'll explain the most common issues and how to solve them.
The plant is dripping water – what does this mean?
If you notice water droplets on the leaves of your Philodendron Pink Princess, there's no need to panic. This process is called guttation and often occurs after watering. The plant is then shedding excess moisture.
Be careful not to overwater, and monitor the humidity in your home. Tips for increasing humidity can be found here .
Yellow leaves on your Philodendron?
Yellow leaves can have several causes. The most common is overwatering. Check if the potting soil is too wet and adjust your watering accordingly.
Another possibility is a lack of light. Move the plant a little closer to a light source, but avoid direct sunlight. Remove yellow leaves to make the plant look fresh again.
Pests on your plant?
Thrips, spider mites, and aphids are the most common pests on a Philodendron Pink Princess. Regularly check the undersides of the leaves for small insects or discoloration.
In case of an infestation, it's best to use an organic insecticide like Jungle Mist Spray . Have you had thrips on another plant, like a Monstera? Then read this article about thrips on your Monstera .
Roots coming out of the bottom of the pot?
Roots growing out of the bottom of the pot are a sign that the plant needs a larger pot. Repot the Philodendron Pink Princess in a pot one size larger.
When repotting, always use fresh soil and check the roots for rot. Find out when and how to repot in this article about hydroponic clays .
Brown edges on the leaves
Brown leaf edges can indicate overly dry air or salts in the potting soil. A humidifier or a bowl of water near the plant can help.
Flush the potting soil occasionally with filtered water to remove any salt buildup. Also, be careful not to overfertilize.
Is the Philodendron Pink Princess poisonous to pets?
Yes, unfortunately, the Philodendron Pink Princess is poisonous to both cats and dogs. If you have pets that like to nibble on plants, it's safer to choose non-toxic plants .
