The Princess in Pink The royal freak philodendron is a striking sight. The Pink Princess ‘Marble Variegation’ leaves has pink and white splotches all over it. Since it only happens in a few plants, the marbling is distinctive. Not moist soil, but slightly damp is preferred by Philodendron Pink Princess plants. Be cautious when watering your plant because too much watering can lead to root rot. Make sure your Philo Pink Princess has good drainage and doesn’t pool water when you water it. Give them filtered or bright indirect light for at least six hours. If there is too little, the leaves will become green once more, and if there is too much, the pink will turn pale white. If you’re having difficulties meeting the needs of the plants, use a grow light.
