Pink Princess philodendron care

Philodendron erubescens

Thirsty’s starting schedule for Pink Princess philodendron: about every 7 days. Check the soil and adjust it to your home.

Watering

Water when the top of the soil has dried out, and don't overwater or leave it standing in water, as soggy soil can cause root rot. [1][2]

Light

Bright, indirect light. Keep it out of direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. [1][2][3]

Humidity

Prefers high humidity but usually adapts to normal home levels; a humidifier or pebble tray helps if the air is very dry. [1][2][3]

Soil and potting

A loose, well-drained, slightly acidic mix rich in organic matter. [1][2]
