Philodendron 'Pink Princess'

Philodendron 'Pink Princess' is a dark-leaved hybrid Philodendron with variable pink variegation across burgundy-green to near-black foliage. The pink can appear as streaks, speckles, patches or larger sectors, so each plant has its own balance of colour. The contrast is strongest when new growth is healthy, the roots are stable and the leaves are protected from harsh direct sun.

This is an upright vining plant that forms a climbing stem with nodes and aerial roots. Mature plants are easier to keep tidy with a moss pole, plank or trellis, especially once the stem gains height.

Dark foliage, pink sectors and vining growth

  • Stem habit: Upright vining Philodendron with a visible stem and aerial roots.
  • Leaf colour: Dark green to burgundy-green leaves with variable pink variegation.
  • Pattern range: Pink may appear as speckles, streaks, patches or broader sectors.
  • Mature shape: Best grown with support once the stem begins to lengthen.

Hybrid selection with variable pink leaves

Philodendron 'Pink Princess' is widely grown as a hybrid Philodendron with colourful variegated foliage and an upright, vining habit. Mature leaves are heart-shaped to ovate, held on dark petioles, and the plant can develop a taller supported stem when grown well. The pink sections contain less chlorophyll than the green tissue, so very pale leaves or large pink sectors need steadier care than darker leaves.

In cultivation, Philodendron 'Pink Princess' is recognised by dark vining growth, pink variegation and variable leaf-to-leaf colour expression.

Variegation is naturally variable. A healthy plant can produce one leaf with strong pink and another with a smaller amount of colour. Consistency is best judged across several nodes, not by a single leaf. If a stem produces only green growth for several leaves, pruning back to a stronger variegated node can redirect future growth, but the plant must have enough healthy tissue left to recover.

Care for dark foliage and pink variegation

  • Light: Give bright, indirect light for compact growth and healthy leaf expansion. Direct afternoon sun can burn pink tissue.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after the upper substrate dries. Do not let the pot sit in standing water.
  • Substrate: Use a chunky, well-aerated aroid mix. Roots need oxygen as much as moisture, especially in cooler indoor conditions.
  • Humidity: Moderate humidity is acceptable for established plants, but dry air can make new leaves stick or tear as they open.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, ideally 18–27°C. Avoid cold draughts and sudden temperature drops.
  • Support: Use a pole or trellis when the stem gains height. Tie loosely around the stem, never around a petiole.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly during active growth. Reduce feeding when growth slows and the plant is using less water.

Diagnosing problems on Philodendron 'Pink Princess'

  • Brown pink patches: Check for direct sun, dry roots or root damage. Pink tissue browns faster than green tissue under stress.
  • Leggy growth: Move the plant to brighter indirect light and add support. Long internodes usually mean the stem is reaching.
  • Soft yellow leaves: Inspect the substrate and roots. Overwatering, poor drainage or a pot that is too large can keep roots wet for too long.
  • Small distorted leaves: Check for thrips, mites or damage inside the cataphyll before the leaf unfurls.
  • Unstable stem: Support the plant early. Older stems can crack if forced upright after hardening in a leaning position.

Pet and child safety

Philodendron 'Pink Princess' is toxic if ingested and is not suitable for chewing pets. Its calcium oxalate crystals can irritate the mouth, throat and stomach, and sap may irritate skin. Place the plant where children and animals cannot reach the leaves, stems or cuttings.

Philodendron name and cultivar meaning

Philodendron belongs to Araceae. The genus name comes from Greek phileo, meaning “to love”, and dendron, meaning “tree”, referring to the climbing habit found across many Philodendron species and hybrids. 'Pink Princess' describes the plant’s pink variegation against dark foliage.

Philodendron 'Pink Princess' develops dark vining foliage, natural pink variation and a stem that can be grown on support.

A Very Thorough Accounting of One of the Most Savage Battles of World War 2
Format: Kindle
My father served in the United States Marine Corps during World War 2 and fought in the first offensive battle by the US during the war, the battle for the island of Guadalcanal. He was seriously wounded there and evacuated back to the states where he spent a year in a naval hospital. As a result, I have read many of the books about this battle. This book was particularly interesting because the author described the battle from the perspective of both the allied forces and the Japanese, drawing from historical records and other books. It was a very thorough accounting and demonstrated what a monstrous battle this was. I only wish my father were still alive so that I could have discussed it with him. His experience at Guadalcanal was not something he would often talk about, but considering savagery of what he saw and endured, I understand. If you are interested in Guadalcanal, I recommend this book.

Excellent book on the Campaign!
Format: Hardcover
I highly recommend this book! I have read many books on the Guadalcanal Campaign and I rate this one at the top. It has just the right blend of stragity and personal accounts to keep the story interesting. It is actually a real page-turner, which is rare for a non-fiction work. Wheelan writes in a style that reminds me of the books I read in my teens by Cornelius Ryan and John Toland, which captured my interest in WWII and history. The book jumps right into the invasion, no multiple chapters concerning the planning and build up, but this info is covered later. All phases of this campaign are covered; ground, air and sea. The maps are okay. There are never enough. The author skims over much of the U. S. Army battles after the Marines are relieved, but that seems to be a trend in all of the books on Guadalcanal that I have read. Overall, this is an excellent book for those who want to learn about the campaign and those who need a re-fresher after reading Starvation Island and Guadalcanal by Frank in years past.

Most complete coverage of Guadalcanal I have read.
Format: Kindle
I have read dozens of WWII books and many touched on the Guadalcanal Battle. I thoroughly enjoyed The Big E and its involvement in the battle. Thas book covered the entire conflict from start to finish. Frankly, I hated to see the book end. The courage and tenacity of all those involved was amazing. To understand the miserable conditions in the area where these men fought was inspiring. To see this battle through the eyes of the American forces and Japanese forces was an added bonus. Thank you for a great read!!!

Shines a light on the reality of the War in the Pacific
Format: Audiobook
Well-written and it really laid out all of the details of how this battle unfolded. I listed to the audio-book, and it was helpful to have the PDF to see a map. How the soldiers on each side endured the battles in the Pacific Theater is beyond me. Man's inhumanity to man that result in this battle outlined here is depressing, but also the sacrifice of those called on to endure and suffer through that inhumanity is equally inspiring and humbling to those whose lives are so comfortable in comparison.

Good book
Format: Hardcover
If Ww2 interest u at all then u want to read this book. I have read the other books on this subject ( so why read another one?) well what i luv about this book is that because so much time has passed that most all of the people in this book are gone & so much more info has been released about these battles, that the combatants ( especially the higher officers are written about as if they are human (mistakes & warts & all) & not like they were all Bull Halsey type Gods which they were certainly not as in most all the books released within the 1st 30 yrs of the war. This makes for a much different & more interesting story about these battles than even the original books on the subject. You come to understand the where & whyfores better, by knowing the real true strenghts & weakness's & fears that drove these men. Hey they are all the bravest of heroes to me. But the were not perfect, & because of this, mistakes were made, that were really not acknowledged or maybe not even known about in early books on WW2
