The plant cannot be found in the wild naturally, as its unique foliage is likely cultivated or man-made. 

Pink Princess originated in the 1970s and is native to Columbia. However, the source of its origin is unknown, but it was clearly established by the experts that plants do not occur naturally. Either it was artificially created through crossbreeding of varying Philodendron species or it came into existence through spontaneous mutation.

About Pink Princess Philodendron

Pink Princess is considered a rare-variegated, and unique houseplant that grows in a well-cared environment. It is characterised by dark-green, heart-shaped leaves with a splash of bubble gum pink and sometimes neon pink variegation. Although you might be confused about the Philodendron pink Congo, the pink princess plant consistently maintains its variegation through natural processes. Contrary to the pink congo variety,  this one relies on chemicals injected into the leaves, which often turn green within a few months of purchase. The care of this blushing Philodendron is remarkably simple and minimal.

How to Care and Maintain Pink Princess Philodendron 

1. Optimal Light Requirements

To maintain the amount of variegation in your pink princess philodendron, plenty of bright indirect light is required.  This plant can endure an hour or two of direct indoor sunlight, which might also enhance their variegation. 

It is recommended that you buy a glow light for this plant if you do not have enough light at home.

The leaves of the pink princess will rapidly turn back to green without enough light.

2. Maintaining Temperature and Humidity Guidelines

Pink Princess appreciates higher humidity levels just like any other philodendron. You can provide at least 50 percent humidity for your plant.

The ideal temperature your plant needs to thrive is between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18 – 26 degrees C).

Do not expose it to temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius). 

3. Watering Techniques

Keep your pink princess plants a little on the drier side. Allow the top one or two inches of the soil to dry out between waterings, and then water the potting soil well. 

On a frequent schedule, water thoroughly to prevent over-watering and encourage better root growth.

Ensure that philodendron never sits in soggy soil, as it is susceptible to root rot. 

4. Common diseases and pests to deal with

Similar to any other houseplant pink princess plants face some pest issues including, fungus gnats, aphids, scale insects, mealybugs, and spider mites. 

Spray the top and bottom of the entire foliage with insecticidal soap if your plant gets infested. 

Due to overwatering, root rot is a problem that cannot be resolved with chemicals, on top of that rust spot is a frequent fungal infection 

5. Choosing the Right Soil Mix

This plant prefers well-drained, airy soil that is rich in organic matter.

Ideally, you can prepare the soil mix with one part each of perlite, standard potting mix, and orchid park. 

6. Feeding and Fertilisation Practices

Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly during its growing season (spring and summer).

In the early fall, when the plant enters its dormant period, stop fertilising it.
